The listing says the winning bid price was £1115 - still a lot of money...

 

....Does anyone know if that is a 'Tilley' stand it sits on at all?......
...If not it looks in keeping.... with the rivets there?..

 

There's a thread on that subject here:

...Aha!.....been well chewed over already!..

Cheers James :-)

 

Did a battered Tilley KL80 tank just make over 200 notes

 

Yes it did!

Mind you a 300X went for over £120 earlier - even though it had been stripped it wasn't even polished...

 

It looks like a lamp there is pretty exposed to replica-production and difficult to verify if so.
To that price I wouldnt dare buying it - so I didn't
It also looks a great bit like the russian Lunar LK Lander

I noticed a Coleman 275 'Turd' reached the astronomical figure of £17.50 last night - and that was sans globe, too...

 

... :-/ ...is that derogatory term referring to it's lovely Russett brown colouring?....

...or is there a deeper meaning here I can't quite fathom?..

 

Not really the colour. It is a term applied to one these lamps some years ago by one or two US collectors because of the difficulty they were having making it work right so it is a reference to quality. They are actually not that bad but the name stuck. ::Neil::

 

I think the difficulty arose from the Schrader-type valve Coleman had used on the 275...
