We are pleased to announce that from 1st July, we have been appointed UK distributors to the caravan and leisure market for the hard gas mantles formally produced by Falks Veritas. The new Auerlicht mantles are produced by Indo International and are superior to the Falks Veritas mantle. They are longer lasting and produce a brighter light. We stock four sizes and at present have good stock of Truma and No. 1. We are awaiting a shipment of No 2 & 3 from India. It is due to arrive on the 10th March so we should receive about a week later.
Indo International Mantles are used by the City of Boston, Massachusetts to light the streets of their historic districts. There was a danger that the world famous gas lamps might have to be replaced with electric lights until Indo came to their rescue. You can read the full story by clicking on the link below. Auerlicht Mantles are now being used by Barrowburn of Morpeth to illuminate their camping barn. The new mantles arrived just in time as stocks of the old mantles were exhausted.
The Keighley & Worth Valley Railway is gas lit and now uses Auerlicht mantles. Many period television programmes have been made using the railway and we are pleased to have helped maintain the authenticity by supplying mantles. Probably the best known of these is the film "The Railway Children" If you are in the area and would like an interesting day out, then the K. & W.V. Railway is worth a visit.
