    The first two photos show a box of Tilley 171 lantern glasses and the second two photos show a box of Tilley 182 globes which I purchased in a local junk shop for a reasonable price.

    They are not for trade as I often need Tilley glass, Jeff.

    Why just not buy directly from Moncrieff if you need one?
    They are not exactly cheap at £15.00, but it's fair enough if you really need one.

    Are the prices from Moncrieff plus shipping, can't find the answer without going through the checkout process.

    Thanks,

    Steve

    All I ever find in junk shops is the wife dragging me out, saying you don't need any more lamps.

    Hello Juan, even with that box of 182 globes i still do not have enough globes for my own lamps, i parted with some 182 globes a few years ago, but i should have held onto them.

    American Humphrey gas globes fit Tilley galleries. Jeff.

    Hello Steve, if you do an Ebay UK., search for Tilley 182 globes you may find some good deals, Jeff.

    Yes, shipping costs will be added.
    If someone outside UK want a postage cost, they want them to just e-mail for more details.

    Jeff, did you by any chance attend the Blowlamp Society meeting in Toddington on 25th October? I was chatting to someone there about a box of Tilley onion globes he found in a junk shop... unless it was an amazing coincidence, it might have been you. Unfortunately I can never remember names :oops:

    Thanks for that, Jeff. Well, there must be a source of Tilley glasses out there for the lucky ones to find!

    Keep warm up there in Shetland. The forecasters are muttering about a cold winter on the way.

    Some lamp parts have turned up recently, a 1930's Tilley ML., and some Tilley service packs and two Tilley mantles and a Tilley pump.
