Great pics Tony. Thanks.

 

Thanks a lot for your great pics Tony & Sands!

 

Great pics showing how everything works

 

Thanks for these pics Tony.
I am impressed with this Tilley Guardsman lamp design, and plan to acquire one.

 

Impressive display. These cutaway units of lanterns, stoves, etc are always interesting.
When combined with cross-sectional drawings or diagrams with specific parts labelling and operating function in descriptive text, it'd be fanstastic. With or without the accompanying video clips.
