New purchase

I managed to pick this wall lamp up today, should it have a date stamped on to it, I can’t find one

 

Dates started from October 1956.
Yours takes a GF control cock so after 1940.
I dont know when the water slide transfer started.
If the burner is original then with the glass springs being on the outside is "post war".

1945*-1956

Yes, the springs are on the outside. What is a GF cock, I’ve seen it mentioned before but don’t know what it means, I’m relatively new to Tilleys

 

Hi Darren, that’s a nice lamp and with a shade too!
As Anthony mentioned, dating can be difficult pre October 1956 and as parts interchange, it’s quite usual to find older and newer parts together.
There’s a thread somewhere on different control cocks, I think by Jeff Johnson, I’m sure he’ll chip in here and point you in the right direction. A couple of years into this lamp malarkey, I’m still getting confused!
Good luck with your fettle.

It actually came with a glass globe shade as well

 

A good find and it should restore well enough and the link below shows relevant information about Tilley control cocks.

@Darren Holt

Do you mean that your lamp came with a glass globe and the white glass shade?

Tony

 

There was a table lamp as well as the wall lamp and 2 shades, so one for each

 

@Darren Holt

Your wall lamp with the shade would be model WL25. What does the transfer say?

Wow that's really amazing, a very impressive example of a Tilley wall lamp, one day I hope I'm lucky enough to find one, fingers crossed.

 

Nice find, one day I might find one of these as well.

Thanks, Darren.
