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 !

Made with DDT.! Mind Blown

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
