Jude and I went past Nev's driveway a couple of Sunday's ago. I had to turn around and go back and grab a few photos. This one might help show better how big the oven really is.

Actually after being able to read the sign on the other one I think this could be one of the six.

That it could be. The handle looked different but on a closer look it could be the same.

Have had it confirmed by the Grandson of the guy who owns the first one that this is in fact one of seven and from the same mould.

The sign says six. Was there actually seven made?
