A Small Collection

Ladies and Gentlemen of this Highly Esteemed Parish,
I've finally been able to take photos of all my lamps fired up together, doing what they do best, be the Sunshine of the Night, to quote Coleman.
The Coleman's need very little doing to them except oil up the pump washers, whereas all the all the seals were replaced in the Tilley and the Vapalux. Hope you like them.
They are a Coleman 220J 4/78, Tilley X246B 5/74, Vapalux M1 undated, and a Coleman 228J 10/78

 

Addendum:-
In this shot, I've included my undated Tillley AL21 which, although alive, is not very well due to it needing a new vapouriser, on order from BaseCamp.
It's turned down so it's not flaring outside the mantle, hence it being so dim.
I've replaced all the seals and put a lot of elbow grease into polishing the reflector with Cape Cod polishing cloths followed by using aluminium foil as well.
There is still staining on the reflector but it's much better than it was.
Again, hope you like it.

 

Your lanterns are a credit to you, they would shine even if they weren't lit.

 

Thanks Henry, I bought the best I could find at the time, apart from the Vapalux which was a present from a frend. I've been very lucky in finding what I wanted.
Tim
