Hi
As this is a swap meet alongside everything else, I would like to post some of the stuff I've got on offer.
1: Best part of a KL80
2: Some X246Bs'
3: Gaz heater for the 901,904,907 cylinders mint
4: Catalytic heater for 901, 904,907 cylinders
5: British Army No.3

I'll add more as I find it.

 

I've got the Tilley advertising sign that's in the Trading Post plus plenty of lamp & stove odds & ends. Maybe a No:12 & pans.
Also hoping to have some Tilley & Vapalux washer kits ready.

Anyone looking for owt I may have in the odds & sods bin?

 

Yes Ross I'll send you a list mate


So

 

I could do with a blowlamp, repairable burners for my no 5 or fettling advice, and a couple of spare legs (or steel rods to make the legs) a paraffin Tilley type lamp for my camping buddy in good working order sort of style.

A roarer burner for my valor 55.


1/2" rebar or rod 8'lenghs to make a hanging frame like flivvers for my Bialaddin.

 

Hi !
I'll risk it and drive up from Harrogate on saturday with a large pile of storm lamps.
Someone mentioned wanting one ?
Having a bit of a clear out !
Tilley ,Bialaddin ,Vapalux ,pheobus ,coleman ,optimus and maybe primus !
What time does " barter town " start ?
...mick

 

Hi Mick
11:30 for 12:00
But it's really low key turn up when you want but I would get there before the chilli runs out.

 

...and the 'chilly' begins.

I was going to bring some stuff but it's exactly the same as others are bringing, so I'll not bother - unless anyone wants a US military M2A stove (a.k.a. 'The Widowmaker') as seen at Newark last year. Lovely flame pattern...



Mick - I'll bring the J.M. & D. Hunter lantern if you'd like a look at it. Oh - and a Tyers furnace, I'd like you to have a look at...

 

Hi Dave !
See you saturday at Stanley !
I've been adding to my pile of lamps to sell for most of the day.
...mick

 

Your's may be in better nick & there may be plenty demand.

 

Quite possibly, but it would mean going to my store (miles away from here and Stanley), excavating it all and then probably putting the majority of it back next week. I'll pass on this occasion...

 

Go on David please just for me

Si

 

I did not know that

 

[quote name=Big Si]Go on David please just for me [-o

 

Thanks David, I know you like a challenge
Si

 

Yeah, I'll get a Chinook or C-130 to lift the whole container up to Annfield Plain, then I'll just open the doors and you can all have a good firtle around in there...

 

David, I'm willing to travel over to the container on the way home on Sunday. I will bring my scales if your selling it by the ton.

Si

 

...weighbridge...

 

No problems David. I'm thinking about you future, when you do retire just think of all the hours I'll be putting in on your behalf fixing and polishing your stoves and stuff. That way you will live on for another generation due to the generosity you have shown to the poor of the parish.

Si

 

Yeah, I'm seriously going to have to downsize both my lamp and stove collections - I've completely run out of space.

I actually managed to part with a stove last week and the world didn't stop turning. So a few more are lined up - mainly the big, heavy ones - and then the others will have to follow them out the door. It's taken me 8 years to get my house like it is; I can't face the thought of another 8 years getting it back to what normal people's houses are like. Even worse, if I do nothing it'll all still be there when I pop my clogs and it'll just get skipped. Sorry to be so cheerful, but there you have it...

So I'm going to keep my 'Birmingham brassies' and that's about it. Same with the lamps - I'll keep my British ones and the early Yank stuff. The rest can go...

 

Run out of space? The true collector just builds more space.

I am not worried about afterwards. My favourite daughter says there are maybe a dozen she wants to keep and she is one lady who knows how to squeeze a £ till it cries for help so there is no way they will see a skip 'cos she knows very well they will sell. ::Neil::

 

Hi Gary plus your family and that great big lovable hairy lump on legs !! Finn

Thanks for organising " Barter Town " near Stanley , in North East england .
And a chance for me to flog a few more lamps outside while inside the hall was a blaze of bowl fires and stoves.
Regards mick

 

I but outside of the hall was warmer than the inside until the sun went down!!!!

My 310 is now fettled, only needed a mantle.

Nice speaking with you anyway.

 

Hi
A few pics.

 

Great weekend Gary! Looking forward to next year.
Thanks for the chilli!

 

That looks enjoyable, but it's a bit far for me to travel.

 

on who's display was the FL5?
was it sold?

 

I wasn't there, Doron, but I think that was someone's display rather than items for sale.

If they were for sale, I'm glad I didn't go because I couldn't have resisted it so I'd be even more skint than I am already and even more clutter in the house!

My name is David and I'm a lampaholic...

 

Don't worry, your among friends here.

 

good to know I was worried I need to plan how to bring that one back home
