    Here's my latest find, a Thermidor. With the original globe. The spirit cub is missing, and I had to start the lamp with an Tilley pre- heater.
    The first mantle was to small (300-400cp), so after a few minutes, the light started to flicker and flames came out the vapouriser.
    Then I put a bigger mantle in the lamp (500cp), this one is closer to the vapouriser, and the problem was solved.

    Those lanterns turn up once in a while, but they are not common, so that is a lucky find.:thumbup:
