    Just in case anyone's interested in this:-

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Willis-Bates-Vapalux-Halifax-Model-E41-Paraffin-Lamp-Polished-Brass-/181910047767?

    ...it's not an E41. Buy it by all means if that's what floats your boat - just don't be deceived...

    It's cage is off a 300x too.

    He's also selling another shiny thing which is an odd collection of parts.

    Yes. 305/M1. I guess it's an M1 if it's from '75. My '75 one doesn't have a model number on but my '61 one says "305". I think that makes the '75 one an M1. The '61 one has a large filler cap while the '75 one has a small filler cap. Think that's the only difference though.
