Title: Does the base match the lid
Post by TBF on Jul 6^th, 2020 at 9:07pm

Saw this CO last week while camping.
Young fella that owned it, got it from his grandfather.
Inside the lid has the Albion 8 marking.
Can somebody confirm the base and handle are Albion.
It had a fair bit of surface rust.
Told the young fella that I expected to see it jet black next time.

He had no idea that he was in possession of a little gem.
I did offer him $200 for it, but in the same breath said he should not part with it as it was a treasure from his grandfather.

Looks right to me but I would like to see better photos as well.
