i saw it, outbid as well, it must be one the first productions with that cap, short while ago another base with the white inner was on ebay but with a standard ( mk 1 ) cap
Lovely to see it, been better if it was in my lounge
I was also keeping an eye on it, what an amazing lamp!
I know someone who owns another very similar. They contain an oil that is liquid at room temperature, rather than a solid wax used in the later Astros. As far as I know the seal on the neck of the bottle is bolted together and the copper cap is crimped around it, never designed to be opened so whoever won it might have a hard time refilling it.
Yes, I was watching that auction. Unfortunately, the seller wouldn't ship outside the UK, so I was unable to bid on it. This is the first time I've ever seen an Astro lamp that matches the original patent design. I always hoped that one would pop up one day. Congratulations to whoever purchased it - truly, a historical Crestworth Astro lamp. I wonder if this lamp was ever offered for sale to the public, or if it was a pre-production design?

Thank you. That's good to know. Unfortunately, in this case, the seller was insistent that he wouldn't consider using a third party shipper.
