Charity shops, junk/antique shops, car boots are all good to look into for oil lamps, we have a quite a few... Some we paid as little as £3 for, others closer to £35.

Got to be careful not to have them in one place too often as they will cause a stain on the ceiling, the middle one was about £3 the right hand one £35

Have a look in the Antique shops in Horncastle, loads there, try the Old Co-op one first. If you go over give me a shout and I'll pop over for a coffee with you.

The small one on the left in the fourth picture is identical to one of our glass ones, I am pretty sure we paid a fiver for ours though, one of the local charity hospice shops had it.

They haven't got them for a fiver, more like £22. The really nice art deco blue glass one is the most expensive at £42. I got a little white painted glass for £10 from them, woodstock got a big ugly orange one for £15. The woman does check they are in working order before selling them. The big brass one in the fist picture is £28 and the big orange one 25. Orange does give a lovely light but doesnt look fit with modern taste.

Some of the "original" ones with shades on we saw going for in excess of £100 or more, picked up some nice small ones for use instead of candles at bed time, not that we use them at bedtime though :eek:.

Strange how these things have come around again.
