I have come by a few more bits for the project, firstly this pair of small oil lamps,
they are approximately 6 inches tall from a charity shop in York, not entirely sure how they will be incorporated but for just £2 for the pair I couldn't say no. They look like they should work (they even still have wick in them) so if I can get hold of some sort of lamp oil I may try them out, on the other wand they may get converted to LED. They are not the best made of things and as they are stamped as "made in Hong Kong" I assume they are of no great age or value.
The second item is considerably older and nicer, it is a 1930's beer keg double tap and is very heavy, in my opinion it looks a lot like a steam engine component, this came from an Antique/Collectibles/Junk shop in Otley and cost £12. Also in Otley I bough a two inch diameter miniature copper bucket which I don't seem to have a picture of.
