Tilley TL-10

got mine up and running earlier changed reproduction tear drop globe for a pyrex onion lit well after the burn in of the new mantle

 

Welcome to CPL, @robbi.

That's a nice Tilley table lamp.

I can’t quite see if the flat springs that are used in holding the glass are on the inside of the gallery or the outside.

Springs on inside.

[From here: Tilley TL10/TL11 (“corinthian”; early 1940s)]

Springs on outside.



Around 1945 Tilley changed the position of those springs to the outside of the gallery; around that time they also introduced the “onion” globe to replace the teardrop shape.

One other question I have:

Are there any numbers stamped on the bottom rim of the tank?


Cheers

3 springs on the inside,numbers around base are 681681

 

and by the way thank you for allowing me to join

 

that dates mine to mid 40's I guess

 

Welcome to the site.!

 

Hi Robbi and welcome to cpl :-)

that's nice table lamp there

Your lamp may well be 1930’s ?
The gallery and burner and pump and the reg number point that way.. if you take off the gf control tap you can measure the depth of the gap in there? The earlier control tap had a long filter on it so tilley changed it later on

cheers

hi and thanks for letting me join

 

On my TL106 the springs are on the inside.
Could this mean it has a burner from an earlier lamp.?

 

@Sammi Jane

It could be an older gallery, or one of the copied new replacement galleries I’ve seen around.


Detailed photos of the gallery and burner required…


Cheers

That's a nice looking TL10 mate, and also welcome to the Forum.

 

@Tony Press, I'll get that done today.
