[QUOTE="Moneybox, post: 551814, member: 3960"] We had two Tilley lamps too when I was a kid. Dad always had one on the dining table where he sat with the news paper and Mum had the other in the kitchen for cooking. We had ordinary wick lamps in the bedrooms. We got electricity in 1960 and the Tilley lamps only got used on fishing trips to Hope Island after that. Somewhere amongst my junk I'm pretty sure I have a few mantles. Last time I saw them I had both single tie (same as our lamps) and double tie ones. They would be in Capel somewhere but next time I'm down I'll have a little dig around. They are no good to me now although I did buy a Coleman petrol lamp about ten years back. We tend to use electric lamps for everything now. [/QUOTE]
