    Hi here are some photos of my recently acquired Shinabro 680. The tin is so interesting that I shall post some photos of it first:

    1221421999-Shin680-Box-1.jpg 1221422015-Shin680-Box-2.jpg 1221422035-Shin680-Box-3.jpg 1221422052-Shin680-Box-4.jpg 1221422075-Shin680-Box-5.jpg 1221422105-Shin680-Box-6.jpg 1221422135-Shin680-Stove-1.jpg

    The case is of the classic "lunch-box" type, but with very amusing graphics.

    The top and bottom of the case have the same image, of a family camping trip.

    This cartoon was drawn by the famous Korean cartoonist/painter Sin Dong Woo.

    He is a famous S. Korean cartoonist from the 1970s.

    So here we have some Social History as well as an interesting stove.

    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.

    @kerophile I don’t know how I could have missed this when you first featured it. Thanks for alerting me to it in the context of my posts on THIS Twigg stove.

    The tin’s graphics are phenomenal.

    Hi

    Yes... The picture on the case lid is the work of the famous Korean cartoonist 'Dongwoo Shin'.
    Unfortunately, he passed away in the winter of 1994 at the age of 59.
    It would have been a wise investment to use Shin Dong-woo's paintings at the time. Because he was such a cartoonist that all Koreans know.

    Representative work "Hong Gil-dong"

    Korean Air painting in a similar style

    Also, most Korean stove companies closed their doors around the 1988 Olympics. Even though there were about 50 companies and about 300 kinds of stoves.... It was a pity that occurred due to the spread of simple outdoor gas stoves and a national policy.

    안녕하세요 선배님, 황동카페 회원이지만 활동은 아니하고 있습니다. 멀리서 선배님들 올려주시는 자료들로 궁금증을 채우고 있습니다. 요즘 육아로 정신이 없어 방문하지 못한지도 꽤 되었네요. 다음에 기회가 되면 만나 뵙고 배우는 시간을 가져보길 희망합니다. CCS에서 활동하시는 한국 선배님들이 몇 분 계신듯 합니다. 늘 고맙고 반가운 마음으로 열람하고 있습니다. 장마 시작으로 날씨가 덥고 습한데 건강 유의하세요.
    Dear Senior Mr. Cho,
    It's glad to see you here. I've been reading almost all the contents by Korean CCS members. I am also a member of Korean Classic stove/lantern e-forum but only as the reader without any post as a newbie.
    Feel pleasant/welcome to read all contents written by KR CCS members.
    Take care and best regards, Yun
