Tilley Ex4 v1

My latest acquisition as original condition. I had to do a bit of routine maintenance. I treated the hood for corrosion. The air tubes and burner needed a good cleaning and the original vaporiser. Just wiped down the tank and new seals fresh fuel and away it went. Very cool

 

That’s quite a find Darryl. I didn’t realise Tilley ever supplied a blue hood.

 

Nice find @Darryl Durdin

 

It's working well.

 

That look like it has seen some use ! very nice

 

Mmm…

Very interesting blue hood.

Is (or was) it enamelled on the inside? If so, what colour would you call it?

Have they modified the pressure release screw?
And does it still work?

 

Great find, some nice blue gold.

 

Like many lanterns from the outback have had a long hard life.

 

@Tony Press , Hi Tony, there is some remnants of the white enamel inside the hood.

 

@Buggerlugs , hi there the air release valve screw is missing. They have found something that they have screwed in to replace it, I haven’t touched it as it may just be forcibly screwed in, to find the /an original valve screw is probably rarer than the lantern. Can’t fix what’s not broken.
It’s cool and original

 

Thanks, Darryl.

The hood would be most likely original to the lamp, then.

Cheers

Tony
