I think I like this game, Matty - but I do not know what you saw on the street? :wink: :D Thanks for putting a bit of fun in here!
Thank you very much. I guess that all Tilley models were exported (or am I wrong on this?), so what particular market need did a special export...
It looks to me like the EX models from Tilley were mainly exported to Australia. But were there in fact other/additional export markets, for which...
Is it possible to reveal which company that is? It could be nice to know where to go for such matters. Does anyone know of similar companies in...
Thanks, Jeff, I am getting to like that old lamp more and more, as its history is being revealed. This is better than one that looks exactly like...
I agree on that - let the bakelite knob be where it has once been put, as it is now part of history. And it is very interesting to see the...
Here are the pics of the pump with pump knob. Obviously, the pump knob doesn't belong to a Tilley lamp, but the more interesting question is -...
If you look at the storm lanterns from Dietz, you will find some with a similar base - meant for railroad work. Tilley's version is more solid and...
Just fell over this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adiabatic_flame_temperature - if I read it correctly, the flame could reach more than 2000...
Looking forward to hear about it, Tony [-o< Btw., could it be something like this you will be trying? : http://www.vhtpaint.com/products/flameproof/
Yes, I have noticed that too - in general, I think that the whole pump is a bit different. I will look at it later and make some pictures.
It will be interesting to hear how it goes when you light it [-o< And then, if it works, exactly what brands you use - it is a good thing to be...
Matty, that was interesting - thanks for the link. So it looks like some paints actually can handle the heat. Let's hope for Thermo Tec and maybe...
That's a pity. I have a feeling that they promise too much on the can - burning paraffin should not reach temperatures anywhere near 650 degrees,...
Having bought a can of so called Engine Paint, I am now wondering what uses it could have :-k I bought it for the ever-rusty Tilley cages and...
[ATTACH] Here with an older PL53 by its side, the war edition has now been equipped with the missing bits and pieces. The old pump leather...
That is very interesting, thank you! Then I will keep this handle on the lamp and upgrade it to a rare and special item in my collection - and...
Sounds like it is moving well ahead. Maybe it is a bit late for saying this, but the cage, handle, and reservoir on the older Tilley might have...
Interesting ideas! :thumbup: I would never have thought of putting the tank into the freezer, but sounds plausible, and maybe the original paint...
Will be interesting to hear - you may be lucky to find nice original paint underneath.
