Phosco P152 and oversleeve swan neck bracket
Following on from the P152's tedious rebuild and restoration, all that was left was to get it lit, having never lit the lantern in the 5 years of having it. A salvaged swan neck sleeve bracket was the order of the day here, with a Osram BSX3555 ballast brought in to get the lamp lit. To see it strike and run up has made all this hard work worth it, its now ready for another 50 years service which sadly it'll never see.

thats an oddball sleeve, where was that from?

It came from a district in Sandwell, I rescued two concrete swan necks alongside this from the same road.

Another lantern on my 'want' list. Never used round here and probably not many left in the wild, so unlikely I'll find one. Used to be one of these on a 5m concrete outside my grandparents house years back....

Ones a Stanton 7, the other I'm unsure of. I'll find them out and get some pics.
