Does anybody know the make of this Camp Oven?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170246557451&indexURL=0&ph...

I am interested in it.

Unsure of the make, However I have a feeling it may have came from the "Rocky Swap" on the Weekend. (Or old mate was at the swap trying to flog his gear off) I looked at one just the same, bent bail handle, funny looking lid handle. To me it looked and felt poorly built and had a very light lid. I recall putting it back on the ground pretty quick...and thats not like me

.
After saying that I can't be 100% sure that it was the same one.
If it is a different oven but of the same make as the one I looked at I would leave it be.

JMHO

Cheers

The legs look as if a little rust is starting to work them over.
Don't like the shadow in the base..
Why wasn't there full sunlight inside?

The ears for the handle.. haven't seen that type before..
(what do you call them?)
Mind you I am just starting out on the old stuff though.
Any feedback?

I always look at the profile of the buyer when these things go off. This guy buys a lot of old Australiana bits n pieces

No Aart, there's no maker marks and no idea of age or origin and I have never seen another the same until that one was listed on ebay.

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

It wasn't me mate...

I would have gone to $200 at a pinch, but the way Jono spoke of it, I soon lost interest.
