    It’s got the XN control cock and the Bakelite control knob, so 1934 - 1939 inclusive. The globe is a post WWII replacement.

    Nice lamp. It should clean up well.


    Cheers

    Thanks fellas. The font has a few dents. Also, it’s in a fairly long queue…
    The control cock and globe are what made me bring it home!

    I wouldn't have walked passed it either. Good find in my opinion.

    @Buggerlugs I’m half tempted to leave it as is, just give it a service. I’ve other TL10’s that aren’t dented. We’ll see…..

    That's a great idea, use it as a working lamp.
