Hallo forum here is my latest restoration of a Tilley R55 bowlfire,i have had this a bout 2 years now and only got around to fettling it back to life.
I got this R55 from a friend who was clearing out a old garage for some one,it was then given to me and i took it home and put it out in my shed ready to restore, being as it is a large version and my main collection is of stoves blowlamps/torches and lanterns,it was more or less forgotton about,the red on the heater in the first picture is paint overspray of red oxide paint from my various restoring progects.
It has since been completely serviced and repainted as well as cleaned here are a before and after pics and of it now working.
