'round the pot-bellied stove / Steam Engines

« on: December 23, 2007, 05:06:09 PM »

I was trying to post some more photos, but I cannot get it to work. Yesterday I thought all I did was turn off my firewall but today I can't make it work. The pot bellied stove is the best one we have. It still had the tag on it when we bought it. I did see a copyright date of 1956 on the lighthouse, which has a ship on the opposite side. Maybe someday I will figure out what I am doing wrong on the photos.
 
I would never buy a rotator lamp on ebay. I want to be able to examine it. Many of them were used with higher wattage bulbs and are now inoperable.....Helen

We have several of the rotator lamps, Niagara Falls, a light house, a mill, a bus climbing a mountain, a cabin in the snow, the choo-choo and some others. They are difficult to find today. Also the plastic does deteriorate. The original ones were quite heavy and smaller. The outside was glass with the inside rotator made off celluloid. Here is a pot-bellied stove rotator lamp. Very appropriate for this thread, I think.....Helen
