Thanks, this was the information I needed!

Here is my newest acquisition. I'm not sure it is a Tilley PL53 or a PL55. The tank is made of steel, so I think it is dated between 1940 and 1945 because brass was scarce during this period. I replaced all the the washers. Now it's burning my retina to hell...!

Okay, the score is...

- Radius 119
- Geniol 250
- WW2 Standard 2224 - and Petromax 850-Lamps.
- BiAladdin 305
- HASAG 351

It is definitly not a Geniol shade, because the inner hole of the shade is too big to fit on a HK250. The origin of the shade is most likely England, because that is the location where I buyed. Maybe this helps to identify the manufactor.

The point is, this shade is not useful for me. Therefore I want to get rid of it. I'd like to sell or exchange it.

"but I might be wrong..."

I am the last person in the world who can confirm that you are wrong. Maybe someone else...

Thanks.

Dear pressure lamp experts,

Recently I obtained an enamel shade. I thought it was made for a Tilley lamp (as advertised), but it does not fit without using a sawing-machine Can anyone tell me what brand & type lamp this shade is made for? It is eleven inches wide and the inside is five inches wide and straight edge to straight edge is just under six and three quarter inches. The shade does neither fit on a Tilley nor any Petromax in my collection.
