Wickie Light Up

Hey all! Been so long since I’ve been here. Feels weird. Figured you guys might appreciate the photos I took of a few of my wickies earlier this week. Enjoy!

 

Nice display.....even ET came out to play too

 

Hahah. He wanted to join the party

 

Cool !

 

A fine display.

 

Very nice..

 

That would make a great display for Hallow’een. Are you sure that’s ET on the bike and not a witch?

 

A witch would have a broom Jean....

 

Witches have evolved too Paul....

 

Probably on an e-bike.

Nice lamp, never seen one with a glass like that.

 

@Derek My grandfather collected these wickies. I got many of his. Don’t know much about them though. My official guess on your lantern is 1895-1905.

 

Early 1900’s would be my guess! Really nice lantern!

 

another wickie. Indoor.

 

Thank you guys. Anyone know who L D of Paris, France were/was? I've done preliminary searches and come up with a blank.

That's pretty bp4willi.
