I picked this up a while ago, an 8R clone, even has a cleaning needle. It's not the first one of these I own however it's only the second one I've seen to come in the blue-coloured tin. It still has the cardboard box which is in excellent condition. This is the first time I've fired it up and it looks like its had very little work before I got it.
@Big Si That blue really sings out Si. Beats the usual muddy (I’m being polite) brown they’re finished in. John
It certainly does John, I keep mine in its box so I don't have to look at it. Lovely stove @Big Si, I wasn't aware they did it in this blue.
I do like that blue tin. They must have had some left over from making a batch of 340Rs. Much more attractive than the 'orrible brown mine is.
