Hi! 4 x Tilley happy mantles. Can someone help to identify from what year or decade each of these are from? Cheers! [ATTACH]
Hi @Akseli, Just sent you a PM.
Hi Sarah, Optimus 200 (with or without P) is one of my favourite lamps. Bright, easy to lit and reliable, it just works. P version has fuel level...
I'd go for snug fit as well in case of building a box right now. The padding/foam works OK, however the lamp must be completely cooled down before...
@tretrop Hi, Looks good. Here's a sample of mine, an old firebrigade purpose built case built in 1950's. In case you are interested, I can PM more...

Hi, Noticed this on my Radius 120 lantern: On top of the vapouriser there's external thread by the jet, haven't noticed such in any other...
Absolutely! This lamp will be used regularly, and with care. Also I'm positively surprised how the wooden box and having all gear with me brings...
I guess I cannot edit the original post and add pictures there directly... This lamp has been originally in fire brigade use: it came with red...
Thx Neil. Just made this interesting find this weekend. Will post it to gallery soon.
