    Greeting fellow lampers

    Not sure about the do's and donts here

    From a vw forum i am on

    Usual etiquette is to first introduce yourself

    I am Warwick

    I have recently well now for the last 3 years been bitten by the pressure lamp world

    It all started with a regular Alladin 21c that was procured to take me back to my youth

    This where a similar lantern was lit by my mother while dad and i removed the shutterply from the windows on a very private house at the beach

    That smell - parafin mingled with the damp sea smells in the house

    On one trip we had to dig out the front and only door as the shifting sands of the dunes had closed the access

    Well
    Now i am totally bitten

    Colemans
    Tilly
    Bialladin
    Petromax

    Once i have found my way around this amazing site

    I shall suerly find the place where your projects are listed or the show me yours page

    I am sure that just like the vw forum
    Regular rule

    No pictures - then it did not happen

    Great Forum

    I might need yo retire to have enough tomr to read the amazing threads within

    Gor now happy hunting

    Regards

    Warwick

    Loved your post Warwick especially your reminiscences. You will fit in very nicely here where members have a love of lamps and also of a good story. A bit of humour won’t go far wrong either. The (mostly) chaps here are extremely knowledgable and willing to share their expertise. I myself love lamps but know nothing. Sometimes I have a lucky find but that’s about it.
