X359 dated 11/59

Here is my 2nd X359, I was lucky as I bought a bunch of Tilleys and never noticed it, and sorry no money shot boy as I need to make a new seal.
So maybe one day

The last photo is how i got it.

 

Another great lamp, and you have two! I must have been too fa4 back in the queue......

 

Just lucky that's all, timing is everything, I hope one day I can find a PL53 and a wall lamp they are on my list now but they are very hard to find.

 

I also have another one that is missing the hood and pre-burner.

 

If that's a new blow-lamp preheater seal you intend to make, best of luck with that! In the meantime, just use a standard preheating torch and let's see it running, eh...

 

That is looking very nice!

 

November 1958 is, I think, the earliest date I've heard of so maybe X359 production lasted a year at least...

 

Sorry I should have had my glasses on, should be 11/59, also I have 8/59 & 6/60 I have asked to get the date changed.

 

A lucky find!

 

Thanks it was just luck
