I bought it as it reminded me of cold winter nights cod fishing on Dungeness beach in the 1980's
I had a Tilley lamp which my mates took the micky out of me for, as it could take 10 minutes to light on a cold wet windy night, they had cheap Chinese lamps with ultra fast burners, which lit within 30 seconds!
I always had the last laugh, after 4-5hrs, they would have to re-fuel in the dark, they had to change the mantle every trip as they always broke in the car journey, my mantle often last a whole winter, every 2/3 seasons they had to buy another as they rust, whereas my old Tilley last years.
When I bought it, I couldn't decide what to do with it, so I put it in the loft where it has remained until today!
Shall I just display it, with my other stuff for what it is?
Or should I modify it and turn it in to an electric lamp (if I can figure a way to do it) although there will be no turning back, as i will have to damage the heat exchanger!
