More Mamod Fuel Tablets......than you can shake a stick at!
I just found these today in a local antique shop (20 boxes):
And look what they came in! (20 are missing and box is a little rough)
Original price tag of $2.69 USD. I find it interesting that these were sold here instead of Esbit:
They were sitting on display on top of an old dining room set because the shop owner didn't quite know what they were for. She thought they were hand warmers.
There was also a boxed/unfired SE2a (missing the burner) but I passed on it because they wanted $142.95

Well thats a good year or two supply.... This is the earlier stuff, much better in my opinion than the wax rubbish they have now. OK it deteriorates over time if damp, but getting past the fact its a b*gger to light, it burns with a better flame. It does smell pretty bad though. Great find none-the-less.

Look out for the very early packs, in the back in this picture.
Packs also came in grey boxes too.

Nice find Nick.
I'd have another think about that SE2a if I were you. If you could just beat them down a bit it would make a reasonable investment.

Well done Nick!- that should keep you steaming for a while. My nearest supplier is 15 miles away so my Wilescos and small Fleischmann dont get used too often
