or swap vapalux bialladin tilley lamps perfect and beautiful.

[blackfeather]

from left to right
number one vapalux 305.
number two tilley x246b.
number three bialladin 300x.
and number four is a vapalux315.

each one is offered for sale individually
number one £60.oo posted and paypalled..
number two £35.oo posted and paypalled..
number three is a lamp rare to find in this condition. hence the price of £80.oo posted and insured postage plus paypal fees covered.
and number four because it is fitted with a vapalux m320 glass instead of the long bialladin glass it should have is priced at £40.oo posted and paypalled.
all these lamps work perfectly and because of this are very economical to run. they are also beautiful to look at being in lovely cosmetic order.
the two un numbered lamps in the centre of the photo are not offered for sale sorry guys..
there is an added bonus to this, and that is if anyone was thinking of starting a collection of these lamps they can have all four of the offered ones for £150.oo but they must be collected or by local meetup...
a secondary bonus is that I would happily swap do swaps of up to two of them for a right handed adult compound bow or an american flatbow with a draw weight of between 40 and 50 lbs at 28inches..
best thing to do is talk about it so pm me with offers or interests.
please note individual lamps will only be posted uk mainland...
cheers guys

i have a number 3 in the shed, got it at a flea market 0.50 pence, very nearly binned it but couldnt bring myself to do it on the last clear out. it was my night fishing lamp. Had no idea of its worth though. Will give it a good clean up now. Nice lamps and good luck with the sale, mine never let me down and burned very bright, who ever gets one will be happy.

Thank you for that. ive never got a lamp from a flea market but when i do get them i buy the parts and bring them back to full original condition. and to some members they may seem a bit pricey but not when you work out the cost of a glass is about £20 posted and a vapouriser may set you back the same
then washers and service kits and the time to clean restore and re finish them. it works out quite expensive and time consuming to do that... so am not asking over the odds at all for any of them... and just to finish I saw a bialladin 300x just like mine sell for almost £130 on ebay only a couple of weeks back.[
i have used and do use all the lamps in my collection. so i can vouch personally for the worthyness of these I have offered...
but cheers for the bump mate and the good luck wishes...

No probs mate they really are cracking lamps that burn for a very long time per fill, i think one fill lasted me all night when fishing, who ever gets one wont be disappointed.

these four lamps are now listed on the bay of evil as a job lot. they were taking up way too much room. or so im told!!
i was in two minds about listing them and to be honest still am. but needs must however i would happily withdraw then
from there for offers of decent swaps. cos posting all four together will be a right ache in the spheres!!!

45 hours? on one tank 3/4 full?

 

[blackfeather]

yes or there abouts i lit it at five pm on sunday.
and put it out at 8am the morning after.[
the same again the night after. and the same again it was still lit but flickering at about five the next morning.
when i said 3/4 tank i was only assuming cos i had used it about 3 weeks prior to my little test. but only for a couple hours to dry some painted stuff in my shed... so am assuming it was only about 3/4 full. it could have had more fuel in than i thought but yes about 45 hours...
