I was hoping that the casing was still useful - but it has
small holes for pins or screws in the upper part which rather spoil it for me.
But it is otherwise interesting to see the factory made pieces to turn it into a lamp.
The brass base was from another 18pr lamp and is made to fit the casing
exactly. The same firm (unknown) made a cast brass base for the 4.5" How.
projectile when made into lamps as well.
I put the whole works on ebay as I'm lamped out - hence the description
on the image as to how it could be set up.
