ww2 army oven

I don't know exactly what you're looking for Neil but there was a bloke going to the swap meets in western NSW (Bathurst etc) who had brand new WW2 field ovens complete with a knife roll and utensils etc. They were made in the USA by Chrysler I think, wrapped in grease proof paper and well priced at $180. He also advertised on eBay but I haven't noticed him for several months.

Neil, looking at your pic and as you say Australian made, I'm ex army (50s & 60s) and I've never seen one of those. A long shot but there is an army disposals shop in Kingaroy that stocks almost everything, just had a look for his card and couldn't find it.

Hi Neil

Try contacting any Guide or Scout property that has been around for a long time. A lot of these campsites had a lot of old army equipment and if they still had one of these stoves would probably be happy to sell it to you/get rid of it. Most of the kids would not know how to use them now.

I found this website which might be of help or just interest. Details the army cookers but mainly for british army.
