    Lovely overall condition, little signs of use but has been fired/used at some point.

    A "SPIRIT" tag attached to the cage (well, nearly, if you say it fast enough.... :lol:)

    A really nice example in great condition.
    I haven't fired it up yet, It's been a display lantern along with its little brother... ;)

    I might just fire it up later this year after I give it a once-over and a quick polish to remove some specks of verdigris :content:

    Another nice lamp Alec. You shouldn't be disappointed if you decide to fire it up. They work just as well as a 1020 but is twice as thirsty.

    Just a small note. The loose plate that sits on top of the vapouriser should be the other way up. It is designed to lead the hot gases up past the slot in the inner cone and then out the openings in the hood. Therefore the curved edge should be facing upwards.
