Big tank BR49

Very pleased to be the owner of this ebay find

 

Think I may name it the BR49c

 

What is the date on the fount please? An interesting lantern.

 

A fine fettling project!
The pump appears to be from a Tilley X-246-B lantern.

 

Nice one I did see that on the bay of evil, so what are you going to do to her?
Congratulations mate.

 

I have one, can be see here, but without the pre-heater
Tilley BR49 maybe??

 

Nice one mate, congratulations.

 

Well done, I was tempted to have a bid, but I've spent a fair amount on BR49 bits the last few months so I didn't bother. Still got a 49a I need a control cock for though. Happy fettling !

Nice gary

 

Yes it was on the bay of evil, I will probably get the base rubbed down and resprayed yellow.
Not sure what I can do with the Frame which looks like an x246a frame, so I should be able to replace that.
Might get the hood sandblasted and re enamelled

 

Yes i have a few spare pumps, so should be able to replace that

 

Thanks Buggerlugs

 

They are common as muck now then
I believe that's five known so far.
