Hi Jerry,

Well, herein lies the chagrin...the lamp is extinguished and there is no
record of it ever having burnt while in possession of the museum. It is
though, the only instance that I am aware of, that one of those
legendary lamps is actually still in existence. As soon as I have the
time, I'll go back and shoot some pictures.

Kind regards,

Theo Paijmans
