    Hello all, I picked this fine example of a Tilley X246 Pork Pie up last weekend.
    Nothing has been changed on this lamp except a wipe down.
    I don't believe it's been used that much, even under the hood you can still see some un- carbonised brass showing, also the hood cap is in excellent condition.
    I will be leaving this Pork Pie as is, in found condition.
    Here are some photos.

    Thanks for looking.
