    Hello Gary,

    Regarding the similarity between certain Chalwyn lanterns and Dietz lanterns (your post no. 29), I had an interesting discussion with Woody Kirkman from Ramona, California, in 2010.
    He gave me the following answer:
    Jörg,
    Yes. Dietz made lanterns under contract for Chalwyn in Hong Kong in the 1960's.

    As HERE with a paraffin stove. Made in Chalwyn’s South African factory I think.
