This Vintage Simpson Steel Quart Pot, dating from circa 1950s, is a classic piece of mid-century outback gear designed for durability and functionality. Clearly branded on the central bracket between the fold-out metal handles, this pot is a must-have for collectors of traditional Australian bushcraft and camping memorabilia.
This quart pot features a clever, space-saving design perfect for life on the trail:
Integrated Cup: The lid features a sturdy attached handle that, when pulled out, reveals a built-in cup designed to be used in conjunction with the main pot.
Fire-Ready: Equipped with a dedicated hanging handle, it is designed for hooking securely over a campfire or for easy transport during a trek.
Body Size: 14.5cm High x 10cm Diameter (excluding handles).
Total Height: 20.5cm from the base to the tip of the carry handle.
As an authentic vintage item, the steel has developed a wonderful aged patina that highlights its history and rugged use. Its sturdy construction ensures it remains a functional piece of kit, whether for actual use or as a standout display item in a vintage collection or man cave.
Note: This pot fits perfectly into the hard leather quart pot saddle bag listed separately (seen partially in some photos here).
