Default tray

peter

The carrier / mount unit , it is possible to make a carrier yourself. Rory and Dave Ballard did a excellent reproduction of a 11 set mount tray . You can do it with basic tooling , and a die for the holes in the top hat section. The feet are same as 19 set/

I spotted a 11 set lid on EBAY here a few weeks ago... The Austraian version lid is steel, I think the UK one was Aluminium ? The lid has folding feet inside , you sit the set on top of the lid if you need to. My only lid I passed onto Rory years ago. We think Aust. production amounted to around 6000 units .

I gave my last 11 set Aust. to David Pope in Canada ,and he found a mint UK built one only a few months later ! Gee

The Canadian set looks like a top unit, well made and probably as rare as the UK made sets.

BTW there is a collector in NZ with a lot of this stuff, Ross Jowitt, he has a No. 1 set, No.9 set and much more of the very rare sets . For some reason NZ got quite a few 21 sets
