    Found another one of these fine beasties on that auction site. I swear it will be my undoing...

    Add a little fettlebox kit and some go-juice & mantle and off it goes again. So shiny!

    It was a wonderful find I must say. It really does seem nicely constructed and even came with a "happy mantle" with a clippy ring (old Tilley with yellow wrapper and owl printed on it)

    Even the box from the factory was nicely made of thick cardboard. I noticed a pre-heater and insect guard included but I was wondering if the pre-heater was asbestos wick. Nasty stuff it is, having lost an old classmate to Mesothelioma, rather not get any myself. Now to give it just a little more cleaning :)
