    Hi !
    I have this image from a lamp collector in netherlands and wanted to know more ,not sure if Theo own's these lamps or just got chance to take photo of these strange beastie's ?
    He thinks they are part of cinema projection lamps !
    Sorry if they turn out to be blow lamps but I'll go along with the idea maybe they are projection lamps.
    Small picture no idea how to make it bigger !

    Yes the one to the right is a Barthel for sure. Cinema is probably not right though as the light would never be enough for that. The considered wisdom on these is either they are for magic lanterns/slide projectors, or possibly for microscope slide illumination. The one to the left may be an aftermarket modification and with am inverted mantle could be more powerful perhaps. ::Neil::

    The lamp on the left looks very similar to this Focus brand lamp:

    Ín fact, the left lamp is a "Focus 05", made in Badalona (Catalonia / still Spain)
