    I have recently acquired this lovely blanchard fuel tank.
    Does anyone know what model of lamp it is from or what it might have once looked like?

    Be good to see the underside too james.
    At first glance it could be a former table lamp
    Made by WM Still i think the label says Charles street so this would make it before 1938. Is it steel by chance?
    Never seen the little feet on any blanchard type stuff

    Hello Pete,
    The tank base and sides are magnetic and at first glance appear to be plated under the paint. The feet appear to be brass.
    I thought that the decal instead of a brass nameplate was unusual too.
    I have no idea what model it might have been.
