great stuff, thanks for sharing that with us, myself, i had a old Tilley Guardsman that i bought for camping in the mid eighties, it sat with a broken burner in the shed for years, my son found a old one that i used to restore it, that got me interested in looking to see what other kinds were made, have about thirty good lamps, many others waiting for work, would be great to hear from other lampies as how they got interested in lamps, here is the same trusty old Tilley, regards Frank
While us Aussies are at it I have collected various things for years, Lamps started about 2005 when I decided to get a 246 Pork Pie. As a child we lived in a split log Settlers house and remember one being lit every evenig as our main light. Here are some of my pressure lamps in June 2006 they have somewhat multipled since.
Hello oldlantern man, sounds like you get around the odd flee market or two, having around 200 in five years is reasonably serious,in my collection i have a few Coleman and one Sunflame kero,occasionally the sunflame show up in OZ, happy collecting, regards Frank
