Thread: "Junk" shops

G'day All, I have a NOS Tilley still in the box with all the instructions too, and yes it does have the preheater in it's glass container as well, but it's not for sale sorry, cheers Dennis
PS they are a good light.

Bought some stuff at the place in Surry Hills for a mate a few years back, pretty sure they've closed down now. I think they went online, could be one of these two.

Wouldnt be the Tyabb packing house you are thinking of would it?

It is huge, has everything but isnt where you find bargins, most of the stuff is pretty exy and some of it is more junk than treasure but a great place to look around.

My wife is into the old clocks, so thats what we go looking for at those sort of places.

I have one of those Tilly lamps at work, I must see if I can get it going.

The place Missus is thinking of was in Petersham. Had mantles, glasses (chimneys), wicks and new lamps.

Ah, that'd be The Everburning Lantern or something like that. About five minutes walk from me, I'm pretty sure they aren't there anymore, either.

They could be here:

• The Everburning Light
• 2265 Pacific Hwy Clybucca 2440
• (02) 6565 0104
