    Stumbled across this at an antique shop. The tag on it said that it was a street light. You can It is hard to read the manufacturer on the font but you can read it was made in London Ontario Canada. 1501774501672.jpg

    Wells lamps are cast iron and run off paraffin, that's tin and probably runs off petrol/Coleman fuel

    Wow some nice looking stuff. That lit lamp similar to the one I came across looked good. Might have to go back to that antique shop and see if I can make out the manufacturer and get a readable pic.
