    Great find, Andrew. “Wizard Aluminite” is an interesting part of Australian pressure lamp history. :thumbup:

    Cheers

    I'd certainly like to find one of these lanterns, you lucky dog.

    Finding the table lamp of this lanterns era would be very nice too.

    Does this mean Matt is not a gent?

    Sorry, just my little joke. Seriously though, you have had a lucky find.
