Since this isn't a pressurized lantern, I'm posting it here. Please delete if inappropriate. I recently learned about this Japanese kerosene lamp. It's unpressurized, but the flame shoots out downwards. It works by creating convection through heat inside the glass, which pulls the flame downwards. It was sold in Japan over 100 years ago. A collector told me it was used for household purposes and for squid fishing. I bought one from a collector, and repaired another junk item. I'm using it as lighting in my motorcycle garage. Did lamps like this exist anywhere in the world? Since the CPL members are so knowledgeable, please let me know if you know the answer. Thank you.
Hi @Camp numao thanks for showing your really interesting lamps there is a thread about these from 2018 , im afraid i can’t provide the link but maybe you have found them already? it’s great that you are using yours
Hi @Camp numao sorry i forgot to post the titles also this member had some knowledge of the lanterns too?
@podbros Thank you for letting me know. I was able to find the thread you pointed out. Help in Identifying Inverted Flame Kerosene wick Lamp I'm so glad to have received help from someone as kind as you. Thank you.
Hello Camp numao, just have a look in the Library Sometimes I do really wonder what I can find in my archive! Greetings Jörg
@Jörg Wekenmann Yes, it seems like the more I look, the more information I'll find. The sheer volume of information makes it difficult to find what I'm looking for, and I'd like to do something about that. I'll try searching around. Thank you.
