<p>the sticker is most likely the lamp ( cap / base ) production number, or poss bottle number, years ago when u wanted to get a refill number, as in have the fluid or both master fluid and solid (wax) when u filled in the refill order sheet it would ask for a number which that would be the stick, crestworth used to keep records of the numbers</p>

<p>The differences between a chrome Crestworth Telstar and the Rocket base is:</p>
<p>- the Telstar has a smaller "step" at the bottom of the base, whereas the step on the Rocket is taller.</p>
<p>- the Telstars use a bayonet fitting, the Rockets use a screw fitting</p>
<p>- the original Telstar bottles had a T cap, the Rocket's came with a plastic jet lid (as shown in the photo).</p>

<p>So another vote of the classic T shape bottle cap.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Don't worries for the bulb, I was just for a try and that was the only one I've got (it came with a Nordic who was running great with lava).</p>
<p>I will put a correct one soon, or maybe I'll change the socket for an e27 like all my other lamps...</p>

<p>telstar 70s bottles as with the nordic's would have had original T shape bottle tops, which were used up till the mid 1990s, the stick on the white top is deffo 90s , when mathmos launch the jet glitter lamps then shortly changed the the metal tops with a built in small bottle top locator which the bottle top would sit in thus then holding the main bottle cap ( lamp top ) again id change that bulb!</p>

<p>I just checked:</p>
<p>the shorter one is also a little larger, so yes it may be a Rocket base :-)</p>
