    I detest seeing any oil, pressure or wick lamps converted to electric.

    This electric conversion was very popular in the 1970's, in my opinion sheer vandalism

    I agree! Scrap metal only now, although still a good pump.

    Algernon Charles Swinburne could have used this as a muse, if he just have lived a few years more [-(

    What about this HERE! ? Not electric I know, and an engineering masterpiece if ever I saw one. But it's still a stove with some extra bits stuck on. :lol:

    I think that seller missed the letter 'y' from the middle of his name! :lol:

    Still, I hope he feels 43 quid is adequate recompense for all the effort he put into that [strike]abortion[/strike] er, thing... ](*,)

    Hmm. I always wanted such a solder - just without the gun.

    Now if someone electrocuted this it could be an improvement (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-TILLEY-Kerosene-Lantern-Lamp-Black-Metal-Brass-Glass-United-Kingdom-/271605736968?pt=AU_) Check the base

    Someone's taken a hammer to the bottom. Apart from the glass - scrap.
