The 'Indian' lamps are probably not 'fakes' as such, they are perhaps the lamps produced for their coal industry and still manufactured there, rather than some imitation produced for display. I would rather not see the list dragged into a dispute over the origins of such memorabilia. Peter ______________________________________________ Dr Peter Claughton, Blaenpant Morfil, nr.
