Awesome looking lamp.
Nice illustration Christer, I love the Primus lanterns. Michel your one looks to be in great condition, nice find. Did it come with the original...
So my thoughts.... Firstly what is highlighted hear is there are a lot of people passionate about lanterns, collecting, fettling etc and I think...

I got to get back to Tassi!!!
The skip!!! That's where I saved it from....... If it wasn't a Hasag then yep in the skip. This one will sit in the shed gathering dust looking on...
