Hurrifume This arrived today, and after a quick clean up, here it is. The lit picture is a bit on the dark side, but there's a small leak from the tank, so this is the best I can do for now. Also it didn't have the original glass, but one from a Dietz 'Comet'. The correct glass is the same type that's fitted in the 'Flag' lanterns, so I borrowed that so that I could take the pictures. The lantern was made by Chalwyn on behalf of Power Fumigants. Keywords: Lanterns

Thanks Tim, I have looked for the 'Powerfume' tablets, but for some reason I can't find any... Mr. Green

You'd probably not want them even if you could find them !

What's different about the lantern for the 'fume' part? Or do they just give you some tablets to mix and burn with the fuel Wonder

I'll post a picture that shows it, but there's a little flap on top of the chimney where you put the pellet. Oil lamp
