Been shopping

Post by Sammy D »

Got these pots off of gumtree today. They seemed a good price so got them. Paid 80 bucks the lot. Think they are all cheap. But one had markings. Was wondering if any experts out there could tell me anything for interest and history sake thanks. Also one had an old sticker.

G'Day Sammy,

Great Shopping.
How did you fare with the delivery charges or were you able to source locally without added fuel costs?
