Thought I would throw up a few pics of my collection to date. About 22 lanterns all up. Some going and some waiting for attention. Some with boxes, spares and extras and others as they are...

Looks like I'll have to organise another raid on the Land of the Long White Cloud in order to score some of what you've managed to get your hands on.... Cheers Tony
Sorry there is a picture missing with an overall shot which corresponds with the naming order. Will get this sorted.
Not bad... especially if you get into the back blocks. And I have an acquaintance who is in the antique business and he keeps his eyes out for stuff he thinks I'll like. I picked up a very nice old Optimus double burner stove in NZ last time I was over. Cheers Tony
