What we should do with our collection, is catalogue it on a database, but there are so many crates and boxes to go through it's a daunting task...

Eventually I want a glass display case for my historically significant, and unique lamps. Occasionally I may run them but for obvious reasons I put very few hours on those. The rest of the collection is either burner lamps or "vintage but not historically significant" lamps. That either get burned through too or saved if they're interesting. I have a bunch of old 80s era Philips candle bulbs for instance that I put into use regularly in chandeliers because no sense in hoarding 20 of them up for "historical preservation". Once the stock is mostly dried up I might keep one as a display lamp.

Econolite, that describes me somewhat.  At least from the perspective of my parents.

Don't be so cynical, Ria.    Also, I've been archiving this site for some time now via the Wayback Machine.

Ah, cynical is what you become when you get old and decrepit, you'll get there  Some things we like to have local copies of; the "cloud" is just that, nebulous and hazy..!
