    Does anyone know about this model of wick lamp?

    I gather that H-A Jakobsson has quite a reputation as a designer. This lamp is NOS.

    Can't answer your question but it is a handsome looking lamp.

    Mmm... I did a search. These lanterns sell for an eye-watering price!

    I know where it’s hiding if anyone wants to empty their bank account.

    In my book, art, design and fashion all mean the same thing i.e, a means by which the gullible, for fear of being looked upon as lacking intelligence, are relieved of their hard earned money.

    @Henry Plews

    In this case, you can be relieved of quite an amount of money.

    @Tony Press

    Not in my case. I don't do art, design or fashion. I'd rather sit in the dark than pay those prices but that would be impractical so I'd light one ofthe many lamps I have. Probably the TL10 we had at home when I was a lad. I know the TL10 is not revered by all but this one really is a cracking lamp and it's been in the family for over 60 years now.

    In my opinion, the TL-10 is a grand lamp!:thumbup:

    Yes, and even better, by tweaking the design slightly, you can get them to disburse even more of their lolly next year and every year after that... ](*,)
