    Well the bug is setting in. Went for a look for a lamp for Scouts to practice on instead of my own ones (which were bought for Scouts......) and came back with 9. 3 are dated 1960/1970. One looks like it has a blown bottom but not sure. The rest are in the photos.

    Some fettling to be done now!

    Hello Brian, those glasses will do for display if you glue over the cracks, but don't put them on a working lamp.

    The ML., is a pre 1940 example and it has it's original pump and an XN., control cock. :D/ :thumbup: :clap: :thumbup: Jeff.

    Well done Brian :thumbup: , that is what I call a "result" :mrgreen: . When you told me about going to that old shop I had a feeling that you would be lucky. Even the two Pork Pie Tilleys are great to have; I like them a lot :lol: . You will have plenty to do this winter! Steve
