Latest finds

Hi All, I thought I would share the latest finds with you over here in Northern Ireland.

One question, are the 2 table lamps TL10s or TL11s? They have the gallery with internal springs.
Many thanks, Thomas

 

Hi Thomas
Tilley had different designations depending on the configuration of them.. perhaps this will help



Nice things you’ve found there

 

Woo-hoo ! Top finds . They should keep you busy for a while..

 

Thanks PB I thought that was the case. Do you know when they stopped using the gallery with the springs in the inside?

 

Hallo M,
I believe it was post war but I’m uncertain which year exactly?
Your two table lamps in the first picture have the XN control cock so are pre war (WW II)
Regards
pb

edit: i think the pork pie table lamp was the first to have the springs on display?

 

@podbros & @Madcollector

As far as I can ascertain the gallery with the external springs coincided with the "pork pie" tank, so circa 1946.

Cheers

Tony

 

Happy fettling!

 

Well done I bet you are over the moon? I know I would be.
