Hello all, I picked this fine example of a Tilley X246 Pork Pie up last weekend. Nothing has been changed on this lamp except a wipe down. I don't...
Good pick-up @Tony Press it is strange to see that particular pump on a Pork Pie lamp.
...says, received wisdom is that these are the transition from the pork pie to the first Guardsman x246's and they're not that common. Nice to find!

...I tend to go for the Halfords brand paint, its reasonably priced and easy to source... Since this is my first and only pork pie I may just try it.
...and polished. Also, the burner cleaned and a new mantle fitted. Now all running very well. I hope you enjoy the photos of this vintage pork pie...
