J.B. Arch & Sons of Boston, Lincolnshire, UK, made this Model 1410 bracket lamp,

except for the burner casting, which is by the Thomas Manufacturing Co., Dayton, Ohio, USA.

The pump has been fitted from a Tilley as the lamp came with the pump missing.

The device at the bottom of the fount includes a push rod to release the fount's pressure.

Neil McRae was able to run this lamp on a unique 50-50 mixture of kerosene and gasoline,

per the manufacturers' recommendation in an advertisement for their products.


Model 1411 table lamp by J.B. Arch & Sons

also runs on the same 50-50 mixture of kerosene and gasoline (right) as the above bracket lamp.

The lamp appears in information from approximately 1928-29 supplied to Neil McRae,

whose collection this is in, by Jeff Johnson.

The preheater torch (center) fits in a well in the side of the fount (left)

when it is not in use.


W. T. Barnard & Co. (Lamps) Ltd., London, England made this unknown model hanging lamp

This kerosene lamp is missing the top cowl.

It was made in the 1930's or 40's, per Neil McRae,

who took this image of Henry Plews's lamp.


Another Barnard lamp, this chandelier model was made and sold

by The Blanchard Incandescent Lamp Co., London, as Model B153 (Neil McRae).

This exceptional lamp, in Kenny Connolly's collection,

is missing the cowls from above the two burner units.

There is a pressure gauge on top of the fount

and a fuel level gauge below the badge on the side of the fount.


Blanchard Model 1215 appears in a 1929 catalog of that company,

according to Neil McRae, whose collection this lamp is in.

 Each burner is rated 350 cp; Neil thinks the lamp was producing 500 cp

when he took this image.

The fount is polished copper with a pressure gauge

and fuel level gauge as the lamp above.

Blanchard brand lamps were later made

by W. M. Still & Sons, Ltd., London, England.

Neil McRae notes that this Model 1128 hand lamp,

which is in his collection, was made from 1929 to 1943.

They were used during WWII by the British Army.

The lamp burns kerosene and is rated at 150 cp.


"The Blanchard" as this lamp is identified by the badge on the fount,

is Model 1370 by this company.

On this model the fuel level gauge is above the badge.

Kenny Connolly, whose collection this is in,

put a conical piece over the burner which is not original to the lamp.


This is a Cleary "B P" kerosene Standard Lamp.

The only light that British Petroleum ever made,

it was named for its inventor, Edwin Cleary.

This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.

Neil says that this lamp produces 280 cp

and was manufactured circa 1922.

This is the quietest pressure light Neil has ever heard.


Continental-Licht und Apparatebau Gesellschaft m. b. H. Frankfurt am Main, Germany

made this Transportable Lamp No. 66 circa 1910.

This lamp, in Erik Leger's collection, is stored in its original case (left).

In use, the lamp was suspended by a cable within a several meter tall tripod.

The fount is pressurized by a separate foot pump (not shown).

The lamp is running (right) with two Aladdin mantles that are not large enough for the lamp

which was rated by the manufacturer at 1500 HK (= 1354 CP).

Continental Licht & und ApparatebauGesellschaft m. b. H.,

also made this Model 3715 table lamp.

It is a 200 hk gasoline lamp, according to Erik Leger,

who believes the filler cap (right) may not be original to the lamp.

Neil McRae took these images of the lamp, which is in Ian Caunter's collection.

The composition handle has an unusual varnish coating.

Note the tip cleaner lever under the frame.


Curtis's & Harvey, UK, made the Evening Star brand,

here R92061, may be a catalog #, rather than a model #.

The shade is for the photograph only.

The burner (right) is almost an exact copy of the

Coleman CQ twin burner table lamp.

This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.


Another Evening Star lamp, this bracket or wall model, #92075

might also be called a wall lantern

since it was originally supplied with a mica globe and has a ventilator.

These lamps (#92061 above and #92075) were made between 1919 and 1931.

This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.


Model R92071 is an Evening Star indoor bracket model.

Neil McRae, whose collection this is in, ran the model with gasoline (left image)

but had trouble heating the generator with the long, slender

Coleman mantle (left in the right image)

so he used a round, Bullfinch mantle on the right.

The knurled ring in the middle of the generator helps to install and remove same.


Model R92078 is an Evening star chandelier.

The correct burner assembly is on the right,

while the one on the left is a replacement

Coleman Quick-Lite made by a previous owner.

This chandelier lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.


Early (left) and late (right) Kildark Model KG232 table lamps

were made by Curtis's & Harvey, UK,

in the same period as they produced the Evening Star brand (above).

The burner parts (center) look comparable to an Akron Diamond brand (US)

but are not compatible except for the generators,

according to Neil McRae, whose collection these lamps are in.

The shades are not correct for this model.


Another Kildark model, this is the KG239.

An unusual model with a three-footed fount,

the metal finish is oxy copper.

This lamp is in Nigel Reynolds' collection

and was photographed by Neil McRae.


This a Petromax 816 table lamp, made by Ehrich & Graetz, Germany,

that has been converted from a wall bracket lamp to a table lamp

with an optional kit sold by the company.

This lamp is in Alan Ford's collection.

Petromax Baby lantern Model 900 was also sold

as lamp Model 899 with a reflector,

base stand, and ring to fasten the lantern into the stand.

This lamp, in Juan Caiti's collection,

also came with an optional fringe (not shown).

The lamp appears in a 1934 catalog.


Petromax Model 834 produces 200 cp (right image)

and is a sinumbra design (doesn't cast a downward shadow).

The kerosene is pressurized in the donut-shaped fount above the burner.

A pump and pressure gauge are both mounted on the top of the fount.

This lamp is in Tobias Jesse's collection.


Petromax Model 835 is a 60cm tall lamp

with a steel fount and built-in pump.

Walter van Gulik, whose collection this lamp is in,

dates it to the end of WWII.

This 400 CP model uses kerosene.


The Nova brand lamp was branded by Falks Veritas, a UK company,

but manufactured by National Stamping and Electric Works, Chicago, USA.

It is a torch lighting 300cp gasoline lamp in Neil McRae's collection.

The shade is a modern reproduction.
