Once, they were very modern.
Did you know, that Polish pharmacist, Ignacy Łukasiewicz, was the first constructor of modern kerosene lamp (1853)? He also built the first oil refinery in the world (1856).

It was a mod con in days gone by for sure.

Very nice work. When electricity is down, these can be useful.
Guest 22-Oct-2009 12:01
A nice blend of elegance with convenience that is often missing in modern mod cons.
