i was looking for info and pics on the A.W. Thacker Sportsmans Outfit cooker to see if i could convert one of my tillies and i came across this bit of info that i thought was interesting about tilley and A.W. Thacker's falling out: 454 F2d 805 Tilley Lamp Company v. A W Thacker | OpenJurist thanks for looking.
Interesting though because we can perhaps assume from this that in 1968 Tilley had supplied product for which they were not paid. 1968 then is very probably the last year product was imported by Thacker. ::Neil::
