I am no expert when it comes to old camp ovens but aren't those legs typical Metters and haven't I seen Metters with a number on the side of the base?

Where is the 12 on it Dave???

Derek its on the base bottom (last pic) between the top and bottom left legs

The legs are too splayed out for a Metters base.
Also Metters bases if marked are marked half way up the side of the pot.
The one I have is marked "Metters 12 Inch"

My guess is its just one of the many types of unbranded 12 inch ovens out there.
Could be of English , Scottish or Aussie origin.
I would be pretty certain that the original lid for that oven would have been of the high domed type...not the flatter sort like Metters have. 

Whats it worth ?
As is not much, find a nice lid that fits it and you have a keeper or about $80-$100 in your pocket.

Told you I didn't know much. Hahahahahaha.

Derek this is as good as I could get of the 12" seems to me theres letters above it.... could be C A R R.....but your guess is as good as mine

It does seem to have longish legs, it could be a Carron.
Does the oven look a little deeper than normal ?
Do the side walls of the oven look a little more vertical than most ovens ?

Ok measured outside.... top is exactly 12" bottom is exactly  11" ....height is exactly 5" excluding legs

I have a 12" metters lid that could fit it. I'll take it off your hands after you clean it up  :D

Sorry but if I clean it up you might have to see your Bank Manager  :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I know on this Forum people use molasses or electrolis to clean up rusty cast iron

was told today I should buy vinegar and soak the CO in it 4 days........anyone heard of this method??

There are as many ways as there are camp ovens I think Dave.  All seem to work for different people.
