    This stove is currently advertised on the NZ Trade Me auction site. I'm not considering in buying it but am interested as to which model this might be as it does not appear in the Tilley reference gallery. Seems to have a Primus burner.

    It's a converted Tilley X246 lantern (base and cage) with a Primus-style burner added.

    Cheers

    Tony is correct.
    Just in case it was not clear to you, it is not an original Tilley stove, it is a home-made conversion.

    Thanks for the quick replies. I was thinking it was a Frankenstein given it has a primus burner. This was the reason why I did not post it in the reference gallery.

    I did not say that it looks good - which it does!
