Never! Oh, well, let's rephrase that; Not normally.:lol: It's a great misconception that they should smell. Of course they do sometimes, but that...
I'm all alone tonight, so it's perfect to relax with some lamps. It was a while now since I lit any of my carbide lamps, so I decided to take out...

Would an original shade really fit the shade holder as badly as we see here? Possibly. But it just don't look right with such a huge gap between...
Fascinating! You need to post them in the Spares and accessories section. With pics on the Coleman markings.
Lighthouse, I store them in the basement. One room there is where we always tossed in stuff we want out of the way, so most just lay or hang...

It will be as soon as we have a confirmation that it's the same lantern. Well, not removed, but moved.
This is a common way to install the gauze into the burner head. As with Primus, the spare gauze is cupped when you buy it, and that means that it...
Regular Aluminum Oxide polish? Autosol, just to mention some. A general tip is to just simply Google a thing or word you don't recognize... ;)
Good luck on that!:lol: Lux lamps in general are rare even here in Sweden. Regarding the attachment of the glass, Lux generally had a metal mesh...
