I still have a small box, Triangle Brand with 0-6 BA sizes. Complete in a solid beech box - with triplex lid - that is warped unfortunately, but...
David, I mean small as in physical size, R&D or spread of gamma, positioning itself in the market in a rather unassuming way. WW2 helped them to...
Yes, it is shorter, but this is not critical on top, beyond the point of combustion anyway. More critical is how the glass is preventing the...
Håvard, the top of your lamp is supposed to be black (early version); only later these tops were red enamel. That yours has a different hue...
Hello Håvard, I shy away from the moniker 'expert', as my knowledge on W&B lamps is based on information from others to begin with, with Ian...
What you have there is a very, very nice example of an early Bialaddin 300X in seemingly excellent original condition. Year of manufacture - 1947...
@Sedgman, I am very much impressed with the sheer work that must have gone into this lenghty piece of information. I have read it, but I need to...
You can start laughing the way I see it with the odd 20 vapourisers. Especially if Neil is right in that these could be used on the far more...
Fiona, For the tank, a simple magnet (like those thingsies on a fridge' door) should tell you whether the tank is made from steel or brass. The...
Gary, as for the pressure tit this 1943 Vapa is like my other '43 lamp, a 1944 incomplete parts lamp and a (sold) 1945 lamp with a brass tank and...
I think those colours were applied in the 70's by a private owner, when that colour combo became popular on two- and four-wheeled racing vehicles...
Hello Fiona, I do notice an original Pyrex glass on this lamp. I believe many Vapalux 300's were delivered with the multi-slotted waist as on your...
Yes Colin, I feel the same way, no point in altering its character. In fact it might replace a 'better' looking Vapa 300 as I do not want two...
I have found this lamp in the Netherlands, a first as two previous 300's were bought from german soil, but likely here too with the british army...
I think the Veritas 350 is making a name for itself as 'the one often without a handle'. Not sure about the other models, but the longish handles...
@Rangie You have seen photo's? Of the Tilley parts or of the camper? If the former, could you share? Mike
I did not read anything that might lead to a scam. All started with an interesting scenario, plus a time element - that is now beyond its logical...
@Sedgman Thank you for making these inroads towards a better understanding of these lamps. Despite, or thanks to, your detailed description, the...
Yes, or PM him with such. If only to find some answers to the questions that came up from this thread sofar. I admit being intrigued. Again. :mrgreen:
I guess the 'fun' would be to trace it down. Puzzles can be very rewarding.
