    The unloved X246A, lucky for me they come in pairs, it also seems as though no one wants these lamps, so I gave them a new home.
    Well I thought I would just give them ago and see what happens and can you believe my luck, I didn't even have too change the kerosene and no fettle required at all.
    I did clean the globes, also one came with a 171 deep globe, but that's not in the photos as it's been cleaned and put away for safe keeping.
    Now I know you like the money shot so here they are after 2 hours so far and no further pumps, they are a magnificent find in my opinion enjoy.
