Cheers Steve. A de-coke and maybe a new mantle they. Can't say the heat is amazing. takes a while for the flame to completely reach the bottom...
Well here it is. All cleaned, polished and painted. It's a paintshop match for the colour so I don't know the name. Only problem I had was the...
I was being a little reserved when I first commented as it did go through my mind that it may have been someone on this site who bought the lamp....
Now that the bidding is over is it okay to tentatively ask if anyone here won the Vapalux handlamp. It only went for slightly more than 2...
That looks like an angle grinder was used to sand it down. It seems like the prices are going mad for some lamps on the bay!
Excellent Ian. Plenty to do now stripping and painting. Cheers Brian
Hi Neil. You're right. the only certain thing about these lamps is you can never be certain. I think it's fair to say it's been cobbled together...

Thanks Ian. At least I'm getting something towards the rare side of things instead of just plain common! My other half doesn't subscribe to the...
Many thanks once again. :wink:

Is that the rear colour for the heat deflector? It looks painted.
Cheers David. Wasn't meaning the Rothmans style. Think as it's military I'll do it grey. The other civilian one I have I'll do cream.
Went for a look at a couple of Tilleys and came back with this. I'm sure I read a bit about blue heat deflectors being rare. Are they? It's not...
I think the flying ducks comes in 2 styles. 4 flying ducks and the other has 3 flying ducks and a patch of rashes.
Anyone got any ideas? thanks.
Cheers Jeff. That's what it's for. I can't get a wood burner in the shed so the next best thing!
Cleaned up the brass hood and no markings at all. Is this the norm for Vapalux 300 hoods or should they be embossed Vapalux Halifax Thanks Brian
That's brill. Looks like one of the latter ones then. It fired up first time but is leaking at vapouriser. New seals on the way. Cheers
Hi folks. it's the last question of the day (promise). Anyway, on checking the glass that came with my lamps today on is marked @Pheonix made in...
