    The hanging frame and reflector aren’t Tilley bits but the rest of it seems genuine.

    Interesting?

    did you buy it @dolly ?

    the tank may have been adapted from a table lamp ?

    The tank is a Tilley table lamp. The hood and glass is from a Tilley lantern (EX4/100/similar). The lower insect screen is Tilley and appears to be being used to hold the glass in place. The reflector and bail are not Tilley.

    Cheers
