    The fuel pipe has the deep socket and the crinkle oak leaf heat deflector so not the IL47 like jeff says looks a tidy lamp

    I guess my only question left is a 5" (606) or 7" (169) vapourizer ?

    The IL-33 has a 12 inch reflector and the IL-34 has a 14 inch reflector.
    The XN control cock has been replaced on your lamp with a later GF., control cock, but it will do the job.
    This link shows my example which is quite an early example because it has the Tilley shield on the tank.

    1930s IL-33 (300cp).
