In truth, No!


Did you mean the one I'm bidding on or the latest link because the ones in the link are nice but common on eBay & just too pricy


£65 for a common or garden Coughtrie bulkhead, I don't think so.

These bulkheads are common as muck if you ask me, the warehouse I work in has one above every fire exit on the inside and I have seen them in other areas of the building too.
Also seen them on walls in various places too, if they sell like that l will try and get my hands on some and eBay them!

LOL, I thought as much. The last Coughtrie Bulkhead I got was unboxed, new old stock, I found it on a carboot sale and thought it was good value and worthy of a place in my collection for £2.

If two of you guys do make an offer, when I next find some of them, they can be out of my stocks!

From my collection, a Revo well-glass.  Top made of cast-iron.

This lamp has been fully restored, the screws are brass and I freed them off and they are now well greased.

This lamp was installed in 1936, and removed sometime in the late 1990's. I found it in a factory I worked in amongst some junk and asked the maintenance manager if I could have it before it got thrown in the scrap bin. Both he and the factory electrician looked at me a little strangely, but they allowed me to take it home, many other items followed from there as things were removed.

I have found the electrical wholesaler I use has a stock of various well-glass globes, including red and green glasses, for various makes of lamp. If anyone wants the contact details of this supplier, please PM me for them.
I do not work for them, nor am I affiliated with them in any way, but I have their permission to provide their details PRIVATELY to anyone who needs a globe.

That's going to be a fairly sizeable O ring if you're meaning for around the bowl!
