I had one come with the boat as it i thought it was a bit dated at the time but would like one again, the one that came with my boat was also corroded/discoloured and lots a lot of the brass look so would like a new one but they arent cheap at £80 plus the head shield for the chimney is around £100.

If anyone has one in good condition, I am interested. Thanks

I have a matching pair that look identical to these: (at least they would after a polish)

Complete with chimneys and wicks

I would like to sell them as a pair though.

Might you be interested?

My co owner says no thank you. She recons thre's enough clutter in the cabin as it is ?
Please point out to her that the lamp will be screwed to the bulkhead and not cluttering up the cabin.

You could also point out that not only will the oil lamp will make the cabin seem warm and cosy but women look at their most beautiful by lamplight .

I tried the first tack. The second would earn me a slap for bullshitting . ?
