Here
a few photographs on our Petromax meeting which took place in Hall, the
Netherlands, in June of 2003. The meeting was organized by Wim van der
Velden who is a collector of pressure lanterns. About 60 persons were
present. Most of them came from Germany and Switzerland. Two persons from
the UK a few from the Netherlands. It was quite a happening as you can
see from the pictures. Especially during the evening it was like a fairy
tale. All over the camp site were lanterns burning. People had even built
frames to hang on the lanterns. Not only Petromax but you could find here
the most rare lanterns. For a collector of pressure lanterns the Petromax
meeting was a special occasion to meet other collectors and to discuss
these items only. My brother and I were the only persons who had taken
a number of pressure stoves from our 'Dutch Stove Collectors' collection.
