    And then three come at once :D

    Going to take many hours of fettling to get these three going, especially the longer one where the fuel pipe is twisted and split. And I don't think its going to run very well with the burner that way round :shock:

    You lucky devil, :mrgreen: I missed out on a similar one a couple of weeks ago, I was at an antique fair and one walked straight past me in someone's hand, I went and had a chat but they didn't offer to sell it. ](*,)

    I seem to have competition for the rustiest lamp posted this month... ;)

    Excellent find!

    Do you have the parts to get them all going?

    They all seem to be complete except for the shades which are not needed to get them going and a few dials that are easy to make replacements. However until I have them apart I won't know if any internal burner parts are missing or damaged.
