    This is my recently fully refurbished FL-6 with the brass plaque on the front which dates it from 1938 - 1940 , this lamp was originaly used on the LNER railway until it was discarded & bought by the previous owner who had it in his workshop for many years until i came along & rescued it.

    The full restoration is here.....

    Stuart,

    That's an amazing effort, truly salutable & you've just the right place to use & show case this finely re-sculptured lamp.

    Awesome ! I'd like to get involved with one of these, and the AL21 is also some lamp to marvel over.

    I wonder if these types of lamps were ever spotted in the classic Dads Army episodes ?

    "Pike, come here" !

    :D

    Jon :thumbup: .
