How Many do You See

Yesterday, I mentioned I collect oil lamps. I took pictures of my oil lamp collection before I went to do laundry, and a few minutes ago when a couple didn't turn out well enough so you could see them. How many do you count in those pictures? Be careful or you might count a couple of them twice. My laundry is finished and put away, and I'm getting ready to work on a book, but thought I would come here for a bit before I get started on it. How was your day? Thanks for reading.

I see 21, but I may be wrong. I guess you will not need to worry if the power goes out. How do you find these?

@ScribbledAdNauseum You were off by 1. They do come in handy in a storm.

I think there is more than 18 of them. I got a bit confused when counting.

I can't see them clearly due to the sun being in my eyes, but I'd guess quite a lot! My day is picking up speed.

@DianneN What are they doing in the attic? They should be displayed proudly.

You'd have fun talking to my husband. He loves oil lamps, and brings them home constantly.

I probably would. I've collected them for years. They've come in handy on several occasions.

I make it 16. There's also a table lamp that looks a bit like an oil lamp, and a candle lantern I think. You're just trying to confuse us! Do you ever use any of them?

I'm not counting the candle lamp. There are more than 16. I have used them on several occasions. The candle lantern isn't a candle lantern, it's an oil lamp.
