Hi everyone.

I came across this camp oven today and I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on who made it and an approximate age if possible?

Thanks

Yeah it will. The inside is perfect, just the light rust on the outside.
It has a similar shape and look to my Fremantle foundry camp oven but I've never seen that writing on a lid before. Also the lid 'handle' doesn't have a hole in it, if that makes sense.
I'm picked it up here in Geraldton WA so the Newman WA lettering refers to the town I'm guessing.

Sure does make sense, just finished a Resto myself of a "Scandia W.A" Camp oven with what you are talking about if you want to compare

Might be just personalised, last name or something. Isn't Newman the name of a big mine over there? The similarities to another brand maybe more than coincidental. Just saying.

It's a town (mining town) in the Pilbara.

Could you post up a photo of the bottom of the Newman oven, so that it can be compared to the Scandia that Guss has just restored.
