This tank turned up at Ashover. Can anyone identify what it is from? Note that it only has one stud and no other mounting points, holes or studs, evident.
Dunno - but what's that mark on the base-rim directly underneath the threaded hole at the top? Also, that pump-cap looks suspiciously like a bicycle pump adaptor Matty's asking about attached to a donut he has...
When it was shown to Mick it had been screwed into a modified (cut down) track lamp stand which had damaged the rim...
The pump appears to be made from steel and if so then it's a WW2., pump and the tank looks just like an R-1 tank with the rim hole soldered over, but it's difficult to be certain and the control cock is from the 1960's.
Probably a track lamp tank and likely AL8. They were held in with clamps on the base flange so no hole in the flange which you get with heaters but have a threaded fitting to take the reflector stay. Steel indicates WW2 vintage. ::Neil::
it is my lamp and have done work on it , i have posted pictures on the facebook group " vintage tilley lamps and other lamps/stoves" (you will have to click join group to see the posts)
Would it be possible to post some pics here as well, only for those old-fashioned boys who don't own a smartphone and even don't have a facebook account? That would be greatly appreciated!
Ive tried to upload a picture here but its not working, its so easy to upload on facebook If anyone wants to see it i will be taking it to ashover light up rally if weather is fine
Hang on i think its uploaded?, btw more work has been done on this lamp since this picture was took but i havnt had time to take pictures, the picture shows a mockup of how it should look.
