Picked up this mixture of Tilley and Veritas lamps for my next projects, as I'm getting close to finishing my TL14 and Aladdin 21 restoration. I'll post more pictures as I go
That is a nice haul. I see a possible steel base over there on the right, check it first then put them all out of sight except one.
Thanks all, I'm loving the challenges and some will get upcycled if beyond repair. As I'm new to Tilley Fettling, as another side to my business of restoration, it appeals to my engineering background, having grown up around Tilley's from my sailing days.
It's hard to tell from just one photo but I don't see any lanterns that look so far gone that they can't be brought back to life with a few seals and some TLC. Happy fettling!
Excellent project pile - we I think all look forward to a grand light up ! - do I see a gas burner bottom left ?
Wow nice haul you have found for yourself there, wonderful assortment enjoy, you should have hours of fun there. Excellent finds. Save as many as you can don't leave any lamp behind.
Yes there is a gas burner in there too. Alas Big Stevie,it's just an older Castrol oil can. No great age, but the cap is still in tact, and the residual oil is still clean....the give away of no age is the fact 25L is written at the top... instead of imperial measures.
