This is the front cover of the 1896-97 Falks catalogue. It's a reprint of the original but it's 375 pages. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
The green button. There was also the Famos 120 which I think used the same burner only with a red button. This one reads "Veritas" at the top and...
Looks like I've got 4, 5 and 8 off that list. Yes that pink fringed one is waiting for a matching Vl1. [-o<:lol: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I bought my Tilley flounder in the UK from a private seller not a collector. I can’t see that anyone would have gone to the trouble and expense of...
Looks like vitreosil with the black flecks in it. This looks like another one here.
This is a Veritas 350, similar but the spirit cup is not removable and the mantle carrier looks larger. [ATTACH]
@Cesar That’s great, really pleased for you. That reflector should clean up perfectly with some warm soapy water. Look forward to seeing the...
@X246A It was actually on the lamp when I bought it, so I'm not sure what it is. I've never tried to light it either so I don't even know if it...

I’ve seen these with the same paper between the glass like that before when lamps have been new old stock. I’d say apart from being very dirty...
Nice one Henry, now all we need is a picture of the vase. ;)=P~
@podbros Not at all, I'm just joking around.:lol: We always have an almost military operation here when I need to handle them just to dust them....
Grip the shaft with some pointy pliers and unscrew the knob, they don't always come easily though. Use something to protect the shaft from the pliers.
I would take a photo of a Vl1 tank next to them as well, but you'll understand my not wanting to go handle those too much.](*,):lol: @BigStevie...
@BigStevie I believe it is original to this lamp, if you look at the picture at the top of this thread, through the glass you can see the cut out...
@Anthony I’m not sure why they changed the pump from the left to the right when they made the Al15. From a right handed persons view it makes...
