Tilley X246 Guardsman Tank

The Tilley X246 paraffin lamp, affectionately named the “Guardsman,” had a production span of 11 years from 1950 to 1961. It is considered the pinnacle of quality among all the Tilley lamps that preceded it. The tank was meticulously crafted, contoured to present its frame bolts to the frame legs. We believe that this elegantly designed shape complements the striking modern colours selected to accentuate these characteristics.

Important Information

Our collection of restored Tilley Lamps and bases are considered vintage items, with some being well over 70 years old. At SwankyLamp, we put in our best efforts to restore them to the highest possible standard, giving each product a new lease of life. As a result, some items may have slight imperfections. This is because a complete repair may not be possible. potentially causing further damage or sacrificing safety. While some items may appear brand new, they are actually vintage and come with the risks associated with pressure lanterns of this age. It is important to always prioritize safety by using these items outdoors and in well-ventilated areas, away from children and animals. Additionally, we recommend considering the purchase of a reasonably priced fire extinguisher available at SwankyLamp.
