Very impressive. The cooking frame has some merit as well as it looks like it brakes down easily. Lots of weight to bend the top rail like that.... Shocked

Not a coal on top to be seen.... Huh

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

With one exception they all look like the real deal, the first one on the left is a bit sus to me but then maybe not.
I reckon there'll be a better showing at Thora....

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

Nice work astro even the cook looks like the genuine article
the first one to the left of the big one has a modern looking harding lid on it, im thinking it an 18 comparing that to the big un i say about 28 to 30 ish.
looks like a swell party all the same

Sure is a great photo Dave, and the old bloke (must be, can just see the end of a healthy set of whiskers) is going to make a night or two of it with the swag ready to unfold.

And speaking of the swag, is that a small boiler (thanks for the blow up SSB) sitting on a co just just in fron of it?

I have this old one, found on a dump (not original lid) and kept it being impressed by the way the handle was forged to keep it at 90*.
Would actually clean up ok, is very solid ci.

The flanged lid on the near left (bit rusty) looks quite "furphyish" to me.
