Tilley PL55 or PL53

  • Hi Paul,


    I think it is the PL53 Model from Tilley, i have seen that`s no globe in there.


    If you need a gloobe you must look for a Tilley onion globe no 182.


    I have one, too.
    It`s a very good lamp


    Have fun with her


    Regards
    Michael

    Der vernünftige Mensch passt sich der Welt an,
    der unvernünftige versucht hartnäckig, die Welt dazu zu bewegen, dass sie sich ihm anpasst.
    Deshalb hängt aller Fortschritt vom unvernünftigen Menschen ab.

  • what you have there is a PL53
    the difference between the PL53 and PL55 is the tank size
    while 53 has a 1.5pint tank the 55 has a 2.5pint tank.
    The steel PL53 was produced from approximately 1938 to after the war
    This could have been produced specify for a military purpose,
    as the same brass PL53 produced in tandem for the general public,
