Just need to build your own wood fired oven to go with it!

They are actually made by Furphy. They are a replica only and not a tap at all. Not sure what Barmah is paying for them but he seems to have a good supply of them

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/1920-FURPHY-FARM-WATER-CART-TANK-END-WITH-TAP-HANDLE_W0QQ...

This is the title: FURPHY 1920 FARM WATER CART TANK END WITH TAP & HANDLE

If some one here buys it, I would make a cast of it and make a resin reproduction of it..... Lighter and cheaper LOL

And as you look in the description, "(aluminium reproduction)".. Pity it was not listed as a REPRODUCTION FURPHY 1920 FARM WATER CART TANK END WITH TAP & HANDLE.

Mind you, It would look good on the wall in the back "Cookin' and Feastin'" area.. Maybe with a water fountain for drinkin' coming out of it..

A furphy, is Australian slang for a rumour, or an erroneous or improbable story. You would never get anything but the plain honest dinky-di truth here... I promise!!!! Yup, hand on my heart, promise, true blue, uh-huh true dinks, dead set!!

G'day David. The water fountain was missing the handle to turn it on, yep I know you can replace it but that isn't so easy. The seller has cleaned up the brass fittings with a wire wheel which left score/burr marks, why can't they leave things in original condition ? Certainly not a bargain at $374.00.
jmho.

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

New project for Astro Grin

Some members may not be aware of this Aussie alternative to eBay.
OK it is not so busy, but I check it daily as you never know what may sneak in.

I remember a fellow near Toowoomba who had one like this set up on a trailer with a roof over it and catered for weddings! I looked at it when it was for sale some years ago.
