Hallo forum today my latest lotlampen arrived from ebay, it is a unfired Parasene lotlampen Made in UK.
I believe Parasene was the last manufacturer in the uk to manufacture Petroleum/paraffin/kerosene lotlampen's.
I know they were around in the 1970's possibly early 1980's, they were very plain and basic not of the standard made before the 1960's as you can see in the photos.
I am sure this one was made in the 1970's, I was hoping to see a price on the box to give to be certain it was in the shop after 1971 if it would have been in decimal money I would know it was after 1971.
The original spares that were sold with it were not there only the instructions, the pump piston is modern as it is a o ring sandwiched between 2 brass discs, not a leather or even rubber/plastic piston.
Even though it has never been lit, it is not rare to find these later parasene lotlampens in unused condition , I am not sure if I should fire it up or not
