The Glowlamp Collector « on: May 17, 2013, 02:02:26 PM » Author: migette1
October 1982 a very important publication was produced in England by a Mr Dolbey Jones called The Glowlamp Collector. I know some of you will remember this newsheet and it had so much valuable info on the history developments of the lamp industry. Some of the subscribers I cannot trace for instance does anyone know of Anton of Belgium Joseph of USA also Carolyn Anne Little of NJ 07852 Fin Stewart was one of the stalwarts. with excellent articles.This publication should be reproduced but I do not know the legal side re copyright. Let me apologies to anyone that I may of offended and If Mr Dolbey Jones sees this could here agree to reproduce parts of these papers as is. his project and a lot is owed to him.

Hi Ash,

Although I have not seen the collection, there is a very large antique collection in South London who is run by Ray, who visited me years ago with another, Ray Hickman ,who is no longer with us, and where some of my lamps came from, it is also very nice to see Finn is showing some of his collection here on LGN I had no idea they were his photos but should of guessed, I think I commented on all of them they are gems!!!!!!!.

Hi Peter, do you mean Antoon Devogelaere of Belgium?  If yes, he does indeed still have his collection.  You can see this online at http://www.luminadomestica.be/NL/index.htm and there is a public museum in city of Brugge where it is on display.  He also has published recently some excellent books on history of lamps and lighting, but I think they are only available in Dutch language.
