    Pork pie with mustard coloured enamel cap (photo makes it look more orange than it really is). I have repainted the cage with VHT Universal Gold as recommended by other members here and I would have to say it is a very good match. The globe is a later style as the original deep-bowl globe was badly broken, otherwise original condition. The paint on the tank is 95% original as I spot painted a couple of marks where the bail rubs etc. The collar on the pump got a lick as well. Lovely old lamp which I will fire up when the paint is a bit harder.
