    Hi all,Found this one at the second hand shop Tilley ex100. I'll have to find a globe for it. It's brass so I'm assuming pre war?
    Cheers IMG_20210425_143043_copy_4500x6000.jpg IMG_20210425_143026_copy_4500x6000.jpg

    Ok I was thinking brass tank and bail and the scarcity of brass in the war but I was only guessing
    Cheers

    Nice find, Brian. With a little work it should clean up nicely. :thumbup:

    It would have had a 182 "teardrop" globe originally but the 182 "Onion" globe is easier to find.
    Reproduction 182 "teardrop" globes are available from Basecamp.UK Tilley gallery

    Hi @Brian Reynolds
    A nice find and a top project to sink your teeth into. She will restore well.
    I'm looking forward to your post of the "money shot" (A picture of the lamp's first light after restoration)
    Enjoy
    Pete
