    Welcome Mehmet, that is a nice lamp and should polish up nicely! Any questions regarding restoration, servicing etc will be answered in the Fettling section.

    @Mehmet
    Hi and welcome to the forum. What you have is a Tilley ML conversion lamp. The idea was that these lamps could replace wick lamps, though you could retain your wick lamp base or holder,
    Your lamp will restore nicely and the parts you need are all available and affordable. There’s plenty of friendly help here, so don’t be afraid to ask.
    The site has a policy of not doing valuations. There is a trading section on this site, though I believe you need to be a subscriber to use it.

    These old lamps can get quite addictive. Why not get your lamp running, you might just catch the bug!
    Good luck and please let us know how you get on.

    Stevie

    Here’s a photo of a similar lamp to yours sat in an old wick oil lamp base.

    Welcome from Queensland Australia @Mehmet
    The collecting and the restoration of lamps is very addictive and a lot of fun.
    Be aware that now that you have 2 lamps ..... they will breed.
    Happy collecting.
    Cheers
    Pete
