There aren't that many sites with information about pressure lamps. The ones listed below may not be specific to Coleman, Tilley, or the other makers, but they are interesting for their lamp content, and are worth a visit. If you want to add a site, please mail the details by going to the mail page.
Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway, Skipton, North Yorkshire, UK is a good place to see old Tilley lamps in a contemporary setting. Contact Stephen Walker for more details on +44 (0) 1756 794727. (UK).

Hans Thörnblad has a very fine site dealing with Blowlamps - so if lanterns are just your second interest, was at http://www.blowlamp.net but has moved. This site is located in Munkhagsgatan, Sweden, and is an essential resource for collectors. This is the favourite site for collectors of blow lamps, soldering irons, furnaces and similar heating apparatus. |

http://www.mashudu.org This is the website for the Mashudu Projects, directed by Lin Mannas in South Africa. Although not related in any way to us, Presssure Lamps International supports the work done in rural African communities, and the site is temporarily hosted here. Pressure lamps are sometimes used in the remote areas of many African countries, but problems in supply of fuel and spare parts makes their continued regular use difficult and sometimes impractical.
