Tilley TL136_IP (Pork Pie) 1946-49

I found this lamp locally on Marketplace. The woman said it had been her mothers and had been in the home as long as she could remember.

This lamp came with top and a bottom insect screen, which makes me believe it was originally fitted with a 182 globe as well as the “champagne” shade.

It is designated TL 136/IP because it has the shade (making it TL136) plus a No. 182 globe and top and bottom insect screens (IP = Insect Protection).

The burner dome is stamped PAT. No. 202485

The Vapouriser is stamped PAT. 524719-375977














As found

 

Up and running





And yes, the shade is indeed uranium glass and does glow green in a Ultra violet light.

 

Very nice indeed. Great find.

 

Excellent.

One of my favourite lamps.
