What did everyone get for Christmas?

I was lucky enough to receive a lovely condition guardsman, the Vapalux book and the Tilley book. I hope you all had a great day. Merry Christmas everyone

 

Very cool,

 

The big man got this reflector to nicely finish off a PL53

 

My little sister went to a flee market in Brussels, and discussed the price for an old tin (these are collectibles nowadays you know!). When they agreed on the price the seller asked her if she wanted to take the contents as well or leave them behind. My sister could not stop herself from laughing when she told me her answer; Bwah, pfff, yeah well ok, I'll keep'em! So I got a nice Phoebus N°725 stove, it will need some tender love & care but all is there in a slightly battered tin. Me happy! Sorry it's not a lantern but I loved the story of how she got it!

 

I got "Book 3, Lamp Fuels" and "Book 5 Coleman Gas Lanterns" by Ron Brown. Santa did well!

 

Hi all!

I got a new Dremel multitool. The old 300i I had burned during normal use. Flames started to occur. Had to wish for a replacement. Santa heared me.

Ooh Matti, yours looks very posh!

I treated myself to a basic Dremel kit just before December, as my old Aldi version lost the variable speed control,
(which is one of the best things about a dremel).. now i'm using it for everything just because i can

Enjoy using yours!

 

I agree to that. The multichuck and the speed regulator is the features i like with this one.

 

@Gareth Shepherd That’s a very very clean looking Guardsman, Santa did you proud!
I got some Tilley mantles as a stocking filler....

 

My family and CHOCOLATES ..... and more chocolates and did I mention Chocolates?

Yummmm!

Cheers
CHOCOLATE Pete

 

I got a nice Optimus 258. Will get some pics up when sober enough to handle the original glass

 

Hi folks

No lamps, but.....



Picked sprouts!

Life could not be better.

Regards Jeremy

 

I did actually get some money.....I am selling some lamps on that site. Mike

 

Santa dropped off an unlit optimus 300
Good santa

 

Wow; perhaps I should drop Sinterklaas and embrace
Saint Nic / Santa? By the looks of it this lamp is rather similar to a later 1350 / 1550 range. What is the main difference Darryl? Congratulations with that juwel! Regards, Mike

 

I got the 2020 Petromax calendar.
Petromax Kalender 2020 Pelam

 

Sorry my mistake its a 1550. Still very cool.

 

Well, I got a lantern but not a pressure lantern...
I got a K & T Panzer wick lantern. Been looking for one of these for years!

 

Wow, that is a craker of a lantern.
VERY COOL

 

I once had one of those glasses on your storm lamp, with the lighthouse and 'will not go out' on it, is it a German or British lamp or design?

 

It's a German lantern. Kaestner & Toebelmann Panzer lantern. That company was taken over by Hasag sometime in the mid-1930s. I like the globe guard.

 

@george
That’s one awesome lantern. It’s built like the proverbial brick outhouse. I like it a lot.
The lantern to the right of it looks intriguing as well. What is it?
Cheers
Pete

 

@AussiePete Pete, National Stamping and Electric Works, Storm King lantern. Came with the box, lighting touch, instructions, and mantels. I figured some sharp eyed individual would pick up on the Storm King! Good catch!

 

Hey @george
Can you give us a few shots of her please.
Cheers
Pete

 

@AussiePete
Pete, I'm a mind reader! I knew you were to ask for that!
Give me a little time and I'll round some up.

 

@AussiePete Pete and everyone else interested:
Here's the Storm King lantern!

 

Very nice, very nice indeed. You now know what to get me for next Christmas.
Cheers
Pete

 

A new Shed....Yeee Haaa

 

@Tony loveday

It looks a bit full already, perhaps you need a larger shed!

Regards Jeremy

 

I wish Santa had brought me a shed, one can never have enough sheds!
