Your Ever ready bulls eye torch looks in much better nick than mine! Is it a paint finish, or some kind of covering material? Mine is just covered in rust, so don't know what it would have had originally, I was going to cover it in some dark green leatherette material to make it look presentable again!
I went out to Horncastle today and whilst wandering round one of the antique shops there were 3 of the Bardic British Rail lamps for sale, I was tempted, but didn't have any cash on me. I also saw a little Pifco lamp, looked like a baked bean can with an adjustable head on the side, a thin wire handle, and a red or orange light on top. Wish I'd bought it now! It gave me an idea of what to make out of a bean can next...
Regards,
Lloyd.
