@OtagoMark in the end we worked out thats what they were, shame they wernt in better condition, ultimately they went in the scrap metal bin as they were a bit past saving

@xaalaax The taller one is a rare type of oil lamp known as an Argand, from around 1840 - 1870. Google image 'argand lamp' to find images of what they looked like. The cannister is the oil resevoir, which fed the burner by gravity. Unlike the other type you found, which sucks kerosene up through a wick - they area dime a dozen. The tall one was an amazing find - a real piece of colonial history, and very rare. I am gutted you threw away a piece of our history.

@wawawawatusi i asked around at the time and no one was interested in them in that condition and I didnt have room for them so I recycled them.

Its aSony HI-8 Digital Video Camera, it takes a digital tape which I find better as with the hard-drives it compresses the recoded data, with compression you tend to lose a bit of quality. Also I can easily extract the data from my camera via firewire and save it as DV-AVI which is uncompressed video and easy to work with
