Did they make camp ovens KD. Albion by name only me thinks as all the Albion camp ovens were made here in Queensland.

Tempted & went to properties:

How common a name is Albion in Oz? Or could there have been more of family into cast iron. (N. American example, Wagner & Ware involved one or more marriages) but the managers were all connected, pretty well.

I now have a quandary. (Pics soon as I can) Two pots beside one another and are identical in the plug and mold. Same legs. Identical lid. No marking on one, the other having the oval Albion Maryborough marking.
Is it possible for the unmarked to be late 1800's if the foundry closed in 1907 after making marked pots.
I wonder?

My mother-in-law fell down a wishing well, I was amazed. I never knew they worked.

Could be. My 10" one didn't have a logo on the body but one under the lid.

There has often been debate about Albion Stove works being in Maryborough Qld or Maryborough Vic.
I did some searches recently and found and interesting reference to a man who had retired from the Albion Foundry as a moulder and lived in John Lane.
Having lived in John Lane Marybough myself for 12 months, I know that it is in Qld.
