As far as I am aware there is no such thing, I have heard the rumor that they exist though.
I will believe it when I see one in the flesh.
None of the old advertising by Albion Stove Works ..or Waltons mention anything smaller than 8 inches.
I guess there is always the possibility that they made a "Sales Mans Sample" and it measured 6 inches. Again Ill believe it if and when I see one in the flesh.

Work on him mate and see if you can get a photo,or some other positive proof. I doubt you will.
An old fella I talk to at swap meets who comes from the Tenterfield area also swears they exist.

If we had a better search engine on the forum I could possibly find it but there was a discussion several years ago from memory of a bloke in Gympie having a 6" Albion. Nothing ever come of it though.

Cannot remember who posted it but was a similar conversation. Someone asked if anyone had heard of a 6" Albion as someone in Gympie is supposed to have one.

I will keep trying to see if I can find it.

By rights if there was such a thing as a 6 there should also be a 7..as the smaller sizes of Albion go up in inch graduations. If there is such a thing as a 6...why has a 7 also never surfaced?
8's are rare but not so rare that smaller sizes shouldnt have turned up by now if they existed.
I'll be very happy if someone proves this wrong.
