There are probabely many more 725 petrol stoves than this very small (100cp) 615 lamp, even if the 725 is far less seen than the 625 petrol and...
Nothing is more easy to exchange and mix than the ventilators on all W&B lamps. Any year stamped into the rim cannot be taken as gospel for the...
David, I like to point out, stress even, that I have been lucky too for not having to pay too much for my 'tuition'. For years I have worked...
Yes David, a waning quality it seems. But 'common' should be seen more as 'universal', and as a personal attitude with which one deals with...
No, definitely not a 'man thing' but to my mind the ultimate learning cycle. That unfortunately even then is hardly taken by most, and usually...
Indeed, and you are on the internet, so you have access to various Ebay's not everybody is aware of. If you have decided you really want an older,...

Indeed it is Jeff! Mike
[ATTACH] This E41 with brass top was offered for sale in the Netherlands 2 weeks ago. Provenance does not go further back as being bought by...
Like I said, your prerogative to replace that wick. But why lecturing me on the dangers of asbestos? Did I suggest in any way there are no risks...
Only if you disturb it, like cutting with a circular saw (not a knife) or when grinding. Hence caution with old building materials containing...

An alloy collar with just the maker and address stamped in it, is new to me. That is the value of this site: sharing (new) facts. Again Willis &...
That is a very clean looking lamp and in an attractive, original condition, well done! There is a growing international market for these army...
Chad, on this AIDA 1500 you show here, all the plastic knobs of the pump (present), quickstarter (missing) and pricker control knob (burnt?)...
