Coin collectors are Numismatics (or something like that) Stamp collectors are Philatelists Much as my wife would class me as being a "saddo" are we Lanternists, paraffinologists, Lampologers or what? Any suggestions?
Well if we stick to Latin, then it could be something like Lucernatists. I think my wife agrees with your wife.
Maybe there should be another forum for Lamp "widows" (and widowers) I do like "lampologist" but then I do tinker with stoves as well so "paraffinology" probably covers it.
Pressure Paraffinologist with a slight wicky tendency. But then I enjoy wood burning as well, but I think Scouter covers that.
