What fuel do these use?

Google Google ......Ah… Use Kerosene, Parrafin or other lantern fuel

I like the look of those  :tu:

Yep, seven quid for 4 litres at B&Q. The lantern holds 0.34 litres which is claimed to burn for 20 hours.

*scratches head*

*chews pencil*

*carry the two*

So that's (4/0.34)*20=235 hours of burn time for £7. Dunno if that's good. Sounds reasonable to me.

I've had my eye on one of these for a while now. Be nice to light it on a summer evening in the garden for a bit of ambiance ;)

A very nicely made Eye Witness knife (you turn the two rings which opens the two blades) sadly one of the blades has been sharpened to nearly nothing and one is broken  :(
A beat up Richards 'scout knife' maybe
A plastic handled 'stag' knife  was made in Germany, its had a hard life, hard to open
A lovely 'strapped'  upholsterers hammer (probably or it might be a French Saddler's Hammer or it might be "wood heel hammer"  :think:  )
3 x unusual wrenches  :o
Another pair of footprints  ;)
And not forgetting one knackered old Ax  ::)

(all the lot for three quid  :D , 'she' wasn't happy )

all it says on the Axe is ''drop forged'' (stamped on both sides) it's quite light weight but seems to be effective (gave some fencing a scare earlier).
not bad for £1.50, i couldn't even be bothered to barter the man down  :whistle:

I had a great morning!   :D

Oil stone made by Norton Abrasives
Another Stanley knife, this time an early 99E with the solid blade carriage  ;)
SAK 74mm Executive
A proper old penknife that has a lot of water damage/rust
1968 BAK that has 'J' on the main blade (there's differing info about these online) wheres Neil when you need him?  :think:
A nice little lock back, made in Solingen Germany with a small whale on the plastic handles
GAK Made by  I.C.A.R
A ring knife (think that what Al said it was called) made in Sheffield by Witness
A nice jigged bone, brass liners, broken small bladed knife that I'm hoping will clean up nicely
And..........................

  :ahhh A Sideclip that's had a bit of use  :tu: :D :D :D

The ring knife, lock back and BAK all have damage to the blades from prying or trying to undo screws..... makes me very sad  :(
