Just rang the fella that had the 6" to which he told me he sold it at the rocky swap meet for $400 ,I asked him if he had any photos however he said no which is a bugger .
SBB you would have hit gold if you found it while you where up there .

. . . . . . . and it gets even more elusive. I think these things are a bit like folklore. Only in the minds of those who profess them.

Like Rory, I would love to be proven wrong though.

Does this fella from Gympie happen to have a fairly large private collection of different types of "Australiana"?
If so ...and he sold it at the last Rocky swap, it was an 8 and in poor condition at that.

The bloke was saying he has 6 Albions between 10" to 14" some been 2 of .
He said he sold the 6" as it was to small to use and was sure that it was a 6" and has never seen one before .

A 6" Albion, it could be true but until I see one I remain to be convinced, a bit like the 20" Harding or the 30" Furphy, blokes reckon they exist but where ?

When I die I hope my missus doesn't sell my camp ovens for what I told her I paid for them. pd

The 30 inch Furphy's have a picture of a Unicorn on the lid.
I saw a couple of them in an antique shop once.

I think the Unicorn is the red herring.
