Provenance

This little camping set is so small it almost looks like it came from a doll's house or was maybe a child's camping set. We can only find 'Merit - Made in England' on the bottom of the spirit burner and assume the rest of the set is of the same ilk. Mick Tighe bought it in a junk shop for a few pence and other than that it's a bit of a puzzle, albeit a nice little one.
