Yeah, thought it was about time I did it..! We do have the original wrappers but they are in very poor condition so I've made new ones and we'll preserve as much as we can of the old ones.

Just bought another oily lampses, this time it's something special.!   A Chalwyn Tropic with a 3" extension to the tank.   And I got it for a good price too..! Just over fifty quid including shipping. I've seen that type of lantern going for three times that before shipping.!!!!

I recently restored a snowball light which fell over due to the pole rusting. I also cashed in my scrap metal for a record payout and am going to be doing an assortment of lighting related stuff over the next little while.
