    I believe they were from the 50's - 60's,

    I just buy the twin tie Tilley/Bialaddin mantles from Juliands on ebay or directly from his website but genuine ones can be bought from ebay etc,

    https://www.tilleylampsandstoves.com/product-page/tilley-lamp-bialaddin-lamp-mantles

    Pictures would help to show condition etc for the vote, also it depends whether you like it or not, what some one values something at isn't necessarily the same as what someone else would.

    Well, If you are not sure whether or not to waste time on it, you can send it over to me :)

    Please post a few pics, so we can see what you are dealing with. Good luck on your fettle.

    Hi Nathan, and welcome to the forum. I think the T10 is a great looking lamp, there is an early and late version with changes to the hood. Let’s see some pics!

    Awesome little lamps and very sturdy, will certainly pass the test of time.
    Would be nice to have a look?

    I think they are special. I don't collect lamps but I made an exception here; I have an T10.

    I may be alone here but I'm not a huge fan of the T10. To me it looks like the designers watched one to many episodes of 'Thunderbirds' or 'Stingray'. I'd have one if it turned up but I wouldn't go looking for one - just not my cup of tea I guess.

    Could be, or more likely, the U.S. space programme during the late '50s... :)

    Reminds me if a Hamilton Beach mixer! Over here those mixers were sort of light green in color.

    If I’m thinking rightly, that a Hamilton Beach mixer is a booze mixer, then I’d be a sort of light green colour after a few belts .... :-& :mrgreen:

    @AussiePete Right, Pete. Booze, milk shakes, anything you want to blend! I know this is stretching the imagination as far as shape is concerned. By the way Pete, if you mix any booze in one of these mixers, you must keep your tongue out of the way of the blades.
