4 Styles of Tilley X-246 pumps.

Is it just me or should that plastic knob be on the butterfly pump?

 

Hello Matthew, the winged pump does turn up with the black plastic knob on it, but in my experience the brass knob is more common.

The chromed Guardsman pump usually has that black knob on it, but Tilley were always tinkering with their products, as these pump photos show, Jeff.

 

Ahhh I see. I might change my plastic one then it is a bit damaged so a brass one would look better. Regards Matt

 

Hi Jeff, do you know what years the brass butterfly pump is from?

 

Hello Brian, my best guess is the 1950's.

 

Thanks mate, I thought as much.
