    These three were included with various lanterns and stoves over the years but they were all pretty rusty. I always meant to do something about them... and now I have!

    I never used them for fear of rust particles blocking the jets but now I probably will.

    Are any of them Tilley, or another known make?

    Cheers, Tony. They've been languishing in my box of questionable Tilley vaporizers (some may be good but they're untested as yet) and I'd more or less forgotten about them. After de-rusting them they came up OK and even seem to have a coating or plating on them. I'll give them a light oil and actually use them now!

    They were probably originally “tinned”. The ones I have are.

    The one on the left of the first photo is the oldest.

    Cheers

    ...and certainly the best made.
