We got ours at Rays Tent City and it is especially imported FOR US from CHINA.

Nothing fancy and no history but it will have one by the time we pass it on to the Grand kids.

My Dad had many of these that he used in the bush almost a hundred years ago now but he used them as reinforcing in a fence he built in Elsternwick when he came home from WW2.

Remember when everything old was useless and the New was just the thing - well that what happened to my inheritance of genuine Camp Ovens

I was talking to a old fellow out at Winton, Qld, some time ago. he told me he just left his camp ovens along with his pack saddles out near Richmond, he just did not want them any more. I still wonder if there is a shed out there with a hidden treasure somewhere.

I cleaned out my Dad's shed when he passed on. I now have 3 boilers with broken floors that where used to store bolts, screws and other "stuff". They where just another item to use and discard at that time

Pity....

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

I've bought ovens in the past that still had rusty nails or bolts in them, they cleaned up OK though, the ovens, Sundryed, the ovens. Also rescued and resuscitated a rusty old Griswold cast iron loaf tin (for baking bread) out of a chook pen a couple of years ago, you've gotta look everywhere.

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