I will see you Thursday Mat,Lee.
Thanks George, Lee.
I will Matt,started the strip down now,the spare top is the one I bought off Mick at Newark about 4 years ago,Lee.
It all points to it having the wrong hood,I’ve got a spare E41 hood I may swap it with that and keep this hood as a spare. Lee
Steerpike,just checked,the frame is all brass and the jet cleaner knob is brass with an arrow, the date is 1943. Lee
Yes John,it’s the Ashover festival of light, steam engines and lamps etc, 30th Sept -2nd Oct, Lee
That’s really good of you Matthew,but I’ll hang on to it for now, however I’ll see you at Ashover mate,Do you reckon it’s a E41 with a 300...
Henry,there is no Vapalux stamp on the glass either,maybe it’s a replacement,Lee.
Don’t know Gary,I tried matching it with ones in the Terry Marsh book and thus thought it was a 300,but not sure. Lee
Thanks for the info John,I’ve only just got the lamp so will take it apart and investigate,will post more pictures when finished.
Vapalux 300 as found before fettle,dated 1943,with manometer/filler,lighting hole in glass,and separate air release.[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...

No not much of a fettle,it has been looked after,I changed the seals and gave it a clean,the mantle is a peerless 300 cp.
Your doing a great job @ColinG Lee
