Yep, a couple of the ovens from Rod Allens collection were originally mine, a small Albion and a couple of others, not the Haydens however.

I must apologise, opened up the Hayden boxes this morning for photos and I’m wrong , they do have the same metters writing on lid lip and the square cast mark under handle, the 18”is very rough cast , with no writing on lip will try chally or king brown to see if they can post photos

At the end of the day are these simply a rough home made copy of a Metters camp oven?

Title: Re: Taree Foundry
Post by Chally on Oct 23^rd, 2018 at 5:45pm

They might be rough and the basic shape copied off a Metters but it seems by the information Rod Allen was able to obtain, the foundry did make quite a few.
