Nice link Dave, I found the bit about the "Carronade" pretty interesting, I wasn't aware that Carron was into firearms back in those days.

BGW there is quite a bit of information on both the Carron and Falkirk foundries out there if you google the names. Ive got a bit of a collection of it here on my computer and one day given the time shall post some of it up in the history section. Like Dave Im a little confused by your comment of people not sharing what they know. I think most people on this forum are only two happy to share what they know about camp ovens in general, including history.
As for your lid being a mis-match... Undecided

I wouldnt like to say one way or the other. Bit hard to tell from a photo.
Here is a photo of my Carron before I cleaned it up and seasoned it, Its deeper than most ovens of the same diameter, that's why I commented on yours.

From what I understand we are the only forum out there that has an interest in the history of camp ovens but boy has it been difficult to find.

Even our own Aussie camp ovens history has been difficult to track down.

Derek it's a bit sad that furphys has wiped the forum as it's a big part of history .

Astro thanks for looking into the price list as it would be good to read it

SB , not sure what to say mate but I was not talking about the members as my reply to Astros but reading it again I can see how it read , I have googled the names of came ovens which always comes up with a post on the forum which has answered a lot of questions ,
It is unreal to email the likes of furphys and a few others not to get a reply off the people that should have the history of there product .
I am very greatful on the info which you put up about the Falkirk , the reason I asked about the mix match is that I have emailed Chally saying that I had doubts the it is a match as it just does not look right and when I read your post I was hoping you seen something to put it to rest . I can't be leave the info that has come to light about the Falkirk which again I will say this forum is a open book on history which Derek and all members have put together.

From memory the " History section " started from this.

I am really showing my ignorance, but is there any reference on the site to the different brands of COs? I would also be interested in the history of the CO - particularly in Australia - and what the "collectable" types are. Apologies if this is represented somewhere but I could not find it.

From what I can find Derek set the section up on Jan 18th, 2009 , I think all things considered we have done well to get as much information as we have in that time. Lets hope that it continues to grow in coming years.

There is enough newbies coming on board to show that it is going to be around for awhile .

I am still getting my head around the different styles of ovens
Which have been made in the same foundry and furphy I think no 1 will know every thing about them
