Very much like British Military stoves such as the No.2, No.3 and No.12, the staple retains the pump rod to stop it interfering with case lids...
Superb, great find! Alec.
Go for it, Tilley and Willis & Bates are close cousins and work on similar principles. See if you can find a decent Vapalux 300 project, great...
What a superb uncommon lamp :thumbup: Alec.
A post on FB regarding the 80th Anniversary of the introduction of the X246 "Pork Pie" spurred me on to find my un-fettled early example and do a...
They are great little lamps, I think that one would stand a little clean and a polish, it will bring it up nicely without resorting to new paint....
I'd suggest a bulletproof Tilley Guardsman, but fit it with a spirit cup/wick then you only have to worry about carrying a squirt bottle of meths...
Fettlebox will sell you the seals. A 191 mantle is best but a conventional Tilley mantle will work in a pinch. Autosol to lightly polish the...
I'd love to find an AL7 or a VL1 :mrgreen: Alec.
I have some EFAR Mantles, nice to see the origin! Alec.
I also have a couple of these. Alec.
My 143/145 (I think its a 143), has the wings/legs, as well as the bail/handle. But seeing the advert above, perhaps its a 123 as it arrived on a...
Superb! Alec.
Excellent! Caution though, stop collecting now otherwise it will get out of hand.... Alec.

Lovely! A double-tie Tilley style (I favour Juliands Ultrabright ones currently) work well with this style of burner ;):thumbup: Alec.
Superb, long been on the wish-list (along with a Primus 1060). Very useful reference photos as well :thumbup: Alec.
That's one heck of a vapouriser! I assume #4 is a mesh or wadding for an anti-fart device? I kinda really want one now :lol::mrgreen: Alec.
Lovely old thing. What is it? Gravity fed, or carbide or something funky? Alec.
Well done for seeing the potential! Too many have been scrapped, losing useful parts. Alec.
