Rare Outdoor Tilley Donut Model OL51
Up for a auction, a very nice and rare Tilley OL51 outside donut lamp. Very rarely seen complete like this, it came from Swansea train station, and was used in around the 1940/50s I believe. Its in very good condition, it must not of seen much use, very bright plating to shade with no dents to tank, may have been repainted at a time. Enamel shade is very good with just some light corrosion in places.  The glass in this is extremely rare, original 108 globe and has no damage, original wire it has the larger vapiouiser and the 500cp burner, which screwed apart freely by hand, lamp really mustn't seen much use, am told British railway scrapped many of these lamps in 60's and now they are very few about complete like this. This lamp is sold untested, but shouldn't take much to get going, please check photos before bidding, any questions please ask, thanks :) Please check my other items, as this lamp is part of Tilley collection I am selling
