Found Tilley Lamp

[Bm101]

Anyone got a working Tilley Lamp knocking about in the garage/shed gathering dust? Brass one preferably and intact. Obviously willing to pay fair price and post. Swap your dust gatherer for some cash or maybe swap for some tools?
Cheers fellas.

Lol Phil. Just for my next life on a narrow boat.I've bought one on eBay so I'll close this thread. Hope you are well mate.

Wonderful things. I remember camping, running out of gas and frying breakfasts on top of one. Took an age, but we got there.

I haven't heard it for years, but I love the sound a Tilley makes as it burns. Brings back comforting memories from when I was really young.

Just to make you drool

Chris, you are lucky to find a good one. I sold a very clean Coleman version with protective jacket about 10 years ago through e-bay, I think I got £65 for it and the bloke drove 40 miles to collect it that afternoon.

This might suite, if you're prepared for a modern take. Gets good reviews

Thanks for all the replies fellas as always. I think I did alright in the end. It's the older A model. But it's refurbished by seller who sells a few. All new seals and washers. No one else bid and I paid 50 notes. Had to buy a preheater, mantle and little meth jar for a tenner elsewhere.
Seller is here. ianandjulie2000 Been helpful if anyone is interested.
I remember going to bootfairs years ago and seeing loads of them. Now good ones seem to be like hen's teeth.
