We decided to go shopping again as we were going cold turkey, I saw lots of Tilley lamps that I left behind and decided to be fussy with what I would buy. I'm looking for different variations of Tilley lamps that I already have so this is what I came home with. Very happy with what I got here are some photos. You will notice that this EX100 has a steel pump and air buttons as well as the original globe. This R1 has a steel fount and pump, the control cock valve i'm not sure of as yet, a Tilley logo on the reflector, I believe the vapouriser is a Kayen one. As for this TL136 I only have one which I haven't touched as yet, but it has a earlier pump on it than my other one so I just had to have her thanks.
Some great finds there Brian, the EX100 is a real gem. Has the EX pump got flats on the sides, like a nut? If so I think similar pumps have turned up in Oz, maybe someone else will chip in here. I’m guessing the steel fount R1 is from wartime production? Nice finds, all of them. They should keep you busy over the weekend!
@BigStevie, Yes it is I have two now both are off EX100 one has a steel fount and other is the one I got today here are some close ups. They are both different as you can see from the photos, the first photos are from the steel fount EX100. Notice the pump tops are different one is flat and the other is round.
A fine haul! The pump on the R-1 is probably made from a mixture of steel and brass parts and the control cock on the R-1 has a brass knob and the threads which the gland nut screws onto are made from steel, the links below show relevant information. The pump which is fitted to the table lamp is for a pork pie lamp or lantern, that lamp should have a Guardsman type of pump. 8 Tilley control cocks 4 Tilley WW2., pumps.
I thought it was a Pork Pie Pump , but was unsure if they came out with the TL136 or not so now I know thanks.
@Buggerlugs Great finds. I found 3 Tilley R-55 here in the US in various conditions. Hoping to get them functional for next winter. By the way, what is the difference between the Tilley R-1 and R-55 heater?
@Chad Campbell The R55 has a bigger fount and reflector. Have a look in the reference gallery here for other Tilley heaters/radiators Other Tilley Pressure Product
