Tilley X246 (1954-56)

Hello all I am very happy as I have now been sent a X246 brown hood from my mate in the UK.
This lamp will be left as is in original condition I did put in a polished burner head on for now, when I find one of the same condition it will be changed over.
I have decided to name this lamp, normally my lamps are all females I dont know why but they are, so this one will be a he and his name will be Bigstevie hint hint.
I'm very pleased to have such a beauty in my collection especially from an Australian point of view as our X246 are all spectrum plated.
Enjoy fellow lampers.

Sorry no money shot yet, stay tuned.

 

A fine example. Proves that there is still an export market ?

 

It looks fine!

 

Here is the early money shot

More to come when it gets dark.

 

That one is in really good condition.
A great lamp, I have just been using one to defrost the car.

 

@James K, well that's too bad your in the cold and we are in summer, today's temperature was 39 degrees celsius

 

@James K - now that would be an interestng insurance claim if it went a bit wrong...

 

That’s looking the business mate. It’s a well traveled lamp! Great name too!

 

A very nice addition to your collection, Brian

 

The other after dark money shots are in the Lamp Action Gallery.
