    We met at Lake Lungern in Switzerland early October. Ruedi Fischer invited again to that hut at Lake Lungern which is known to a number of collectors.

    Here are a few images of the meeting:

    We then had the opportunity to have a look on the collection of one of Ruedi's friends who prefers to be unnamed... But he agreed on a series of photos to be published.
    A humble collection.
    (This is not Ruedi's bunker)

    Enjoy,
    there are a few lanterns to be found on the images, may be some other junk as well.

    P.S. some images were taken by cellphone camera so the quality varies :-/

    Cheers

    That collection is too humble in my opinion, uncomplete and not well organized. I'm almost disgusted!

    :D

    Ha-Ha, is that sarcasm or just pure envy?

    Would be great to go to a meet like this, to chat, swap and tell those lost lamp refound stories with like minded people.
    There was one, almost locally, recently in Ipswitch Queensland Australia that I missed, a sudden family bereavement saw me whisked away to another state.

    Hi,

    the small lamp in this picture seems to have a very similar, if not the same, knob of the swdius astarte lamps I own... anyone can identify it?

    Thanks!

    Probably it is a Hipolito 150cp. The handwheel looks like Hipolito

    Hi Leo, yes, could look like an hipolito 150, but isn't the hood more similar to a radius or petromax old lamp? If I remember well the hipolito 150 comes with a modern petromax 830 hood style, with two screws on top...

    Nicola
