    Fine restoration, @Steptoe.

    With the 182 glass and not the shade, the model would be TL 116; the dating for the “pork pie” version of the 106/116 lamps is more tightly 1945-1949.

    Was that pump original to the lamp? It is the pump used on the next versions of Tilleys after the pork pie.


    Cheers

    Tony

    @Tony Press Hello Tony. Thank you for your comments. I have not changed the pump at all and it is the one that came with the lamp. Whether the previous owner ever changed it that I am not sure. Kind regards.

    Good pick-up @Tony Press it is strange to see that particular pump on a Pork Pie lamp.

    @Buggerlugs I shall have to keep my eyes open for the correct pressure pump. Must have it right. Best regards.
