Following on from "Packing a camp oven".

This is the only image I have at this point. What can i say, good help is hard to find; I was expecting more than these Grin

. No, he's a good bloke who is making arrangements for safe transport.

Back on track... do these images make it easy for someone to identify?

At a rough guess Id say it is an Albatross Oven, I posted an example in the history section ages ago. Last one I saw ( the example shown) was listed on Ebay some years ago and was in WA at the time of sale.
Check out the following link and more will be revealed.

Sure will Nelson. I am hoping that any inside corrosion hasn't gone too deep.
My mate is cutting up an old dense foam mattress for insulation(10cm thick) and double boxing it.

I had this this image of the interior emailed to me today.
You can see where the surface has been scratched to see what lies beneath the oxide.

I am hopeful that it will clean up well

Hi Salty.
that is correct and it is the only reference that I can find in respect of this marque. I assure you, I have been looking hard with the little info I have......
Certainly a long time between discoveries; I wonder how many exist??

I have also posted on the Yankee site but I don't hold out much hope there as they appear to mainly focus on their own stuff.. and why wouldn't you when you had access to the volume that they have available

Maybe there are more clues to be found when it arrives. I will take more before/after images of it then.
Albatross would suggest a foundry that supplied or was located close to shipping would seem likely. Ha ha, back in the day that was probably all of them supplying the steam industry
