Tilley EX100

This is how it was when i got it

And it works well

so i cleaned it up very happy

What do you think not bad for a beginner?

 

Looks good, l like the original globe.
Well done.
Cheers
Pete

 

Thank for the encouragement

I now notice, having spotted your EX100 in the Action Gallery, that you’ve swapped the original Tilley bail (handle) shown in the first photo of this thread, for a Kayen bail.

Good spotting i will change it back, got mixed up with others, is this Right now?

 

Also so is this a Kayen hanger?

How do i tell as i thought the its was the rounded ends or is it the knurl?

 

Thanks Tony how does this look correct now?

 

@Buggerlugs

That’s a why it’s good to keep track of what bits come with what lamp..

I’ll stick my neck out a bit - and I don’t mind being proven wrong:

Looking through my and others’ Kayens, the nuts appear more tapered to the top, and more rounded at the top, than the Tilley nuts do.

Nonetheless, the Kayen bails do have variations, as do the Tilley bails. Your Tilley bail on the above lamp is quite short, for example.

The pattern of knurling differs, as well.

These are Tilley bail nuts:







These are Kayen bail nuts:

Thanks and the one in this picture is Kayen is that right?

 

This is a better picture

 

I would say that the one you just posted above is Tilley. It looks like the one on my wartime steel tank EX100:

well she is all done for now, just got the shade to finish

 

@Buggerlugs

As best as I can tell these EX100 lanterns were first sold in Australia from mid-1940 (23 May 1940 is my earliest date for advertising).

Its predecessor, the EX 4 was still being advertised late into 1940 in rural NSW.

@Tony Press , I think you will find this one was from a steel war time Tilley.

 

To the shed I head...
