    Decided to have a clean around and sort out today. So before they get covered in dust again, here are some pics. Apart from the E41s most have small differences.

    The Vapalux Donut is the one that still alludes me!!

    Nice collection and nicely displayed, but nobody needs that many E41's, hospital lamps or T20's. Best send me one of each. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :lol:

    :clap: Nice collection, Ian - I thought I was doing OK with E41s but clearly I need a few more yet... :doh: :p

    You're not going for the Imber Research stuff?

    Hi David,
    The bowl fire and one of the chrome T20s are Imber Research models. I have never seen another T20 Imber,
    though I guess there maybe some in N. America.

    Ian,

    What a fantastic collection! Nonpareil!

    I understand now why you wrote "The Book".
    I have a copy and it's my W & B "bible", but I will surely bookmark this post for more examples of these fabulous lanterns.

    Hopefully you will come across the donut at some point in time.

    Dan
