It fell out of the pump shaft of the Tilley. I know a similar part is used in a Petromax-pump. Is this a lost Petromax part in a old Tilley lamp or is it a genuine part of a Tilley x246 Guardsman?
Go to the main heading and have a look at the ‘What do I call this part ; Tilley’ There are pictures of the pump there I don’t think it is part of a Tilley pump.. looks more like the end of an old pop rivet :-)
