Fount should be dated on that, 1960’s sounds about right, probably 62/63 at a guess. Not as common as the earlier table lamps, one my collection...
Keep it, give them an old X246B instead they won’t know the difference. :lol:
Not Asia, the furthest away would be Ireland. Look at the last picture hard, you can see the side away from the camera is filthy with grime, the...
I have a scrap Tilley vapouriser in an aluminium control cock which I use when spraying tanks. The cock screws into both Tilley and...
How was the lamp turned off last time, was the pressure released or did you use the control knob?
Arran beige David. Arum lily sounds familiar, perhaps that’s the Tilley match?
@Mackburner l’m pleased to have found one and in such good condition. I’ve seen more dents in later ones. I have a couple of those enamel hoods,...
Thanks fellas, really pleased to find one of these, saw it hanging up from a far and went running over to grab it. Here’s a picture all put...
Damn, should have said “And here’s one I made earlier”.:lol: It works well Colin and it doesn’t look too bad either.
@ColinG found the lamp, had to knock quite a lot of dust off it first.:oops: Hope you don’t mind me sticking these on your thread. Neat tip,...
This is the early Tilley Il33 with the smaller 10 inch tank, as found scruffy but no dents. Pricker control, vapouriser and burner/hood all wrong...
Yep, will do. When I’ve found it and dug it out. :lol:
@ColinG I did a vapalux 320 in satin black and polished up all the brass and aluminium parts. That’s a pretty smart looking combination if you...
There are a lot of repro copper kettles around, perhaps the website should be called (Classic Original Copper Kettles), just to ensure none of the...
I know that feeling, I’ve got maybe 10 or 15 NOS around here, but I can never bring myself to use one.
The bottoms of those were always gold as far as I know, including the cream ones. Unless of course you were lucky enough to own a chrome one.=P~
@ColinG if it burns paraffin, then yes just go for it. Give it a quick look over for obvious signs that something isn’t right, take it outside and...
Just in case anyone missed it, just to bug you even more. 12 minutes 25 seconds in, when you see the hood sat on top of the handles retaining...
Takes their minds off other things I guess Jean.:lol: I’ll keep an eye out for another crimson vase for you as well, knowing my luck now I’ve got...
Lovely @Jean J I’ve not seen that finish on one of these before. I still keep an eye out for a frame for your hanging lamp, hopefully you’ll get...
