    If you've got a Tilley torch that's missing a glass jar, Sainsbury's spice collection come in a very similar jar. The top is identical, its about 5mm / 1/4inch shorter but the torches fit just fine.

    Genuine on the right, spice jar on the left.

    The tops are identical. (PS. I got this jar from my daughter which is why the top is a bit dented!)

    Well worth 80p (UK) to replace a lost jar.

    Magic. I use the rest for all the little screws, nuts and bolts that otherwise clutter the garage. Look nice in a spice rack too.
