1930's, Tilley blue VL1.

@Matthew92
Be nice if you could post the wire shade on here and the hanky shade sizes maybe as a stand alone post so it dont get lost
Reckon few people may attempt to have a go to put on there lamps.
Good your still lurking lamps hard to come by now for everyone.
Yes be good to see you at newark matt only couple of months now wont be long
Cheers pete

 

Yep, so am I - it'll be good to see you again, Matt!

Bring some cash this year, eh?

 

wotcher Matt

 

I've now posted the shade in the gallery Handkerchief Shade.

 

Let's see if we can pry my wallet out of my pocket this year.

Not much chance of that now is there matt
Still Dave is my best customer going by past newarks
Cheers pete

 

I swear to God, I've stopped buying lamps, lanterns and heaters!!

Still, a Vapalux handlamp or one of those Colemans with the hemispherical globes could tempt me although I think I'm on pretty safe ground with either of those...

 

Never say never David.

 

Except my brain burped and I meant a Vapalux donut, Jean - somehow I don't think one of those will be gracing Tilley Towers any time soon.

Of course Pete could have one he's not telling us about...

Two did turn up at Newark one year - I tried to get them in the boot of my car and away but was swiftly apprehended - bah!

 

@David Shouksmith

I remember that weekend dave long time ago now.
As you know vapalux have never done it for me somehow
I know where one of them donuts is but alas its not in my celler.
If it was i would pay you to get rid of it for me
Cheers pete
