This may seem like a bizarre request...
but does anyone know where I might be able to get hold of a replacement glass for a brass OIL lamp?
It's been handed down to my mum by the Welsh side of our family, but the bleddy glass has broken.
I have tried eBay but the closest one to it is in the US - and they want £40 for it!! The glass is similar to the one pictured, and would need a glass similar in shape.
It would be great if I could find a replacement for it - my mum would be dead chuffed

Funny you should mention that. As I have an old oil lamp - with a broken glass 
Can't find a sensible replacement either(although noted some fake antique oil-lamp looking wall lights that had similar tube shaped glass in a pub I was in- but couldn't distract the staff for long enough to nick it
).
And to think my family originated from an area famed for glassmaking

Will try.
May have to swap them for inverted pint glases so they don't immediately notice they are missing after our "swift" exit

I don't think it's a tilley lamp (i had to google that!!) and it def. doesn't look like one of those..
perhaps it would help if i got a piccy up here of the real thing but that will have to wait until tomorrow as I seem to have lost my camera
Thanks for the thought though
Sharky - I've snaffled a ceramic fluffy sheep from a pub before.. I had been drinking
He was glued down, so I think they may have noticed he was missing by the great big mark on the wood work
A couple of lamp thingys will be simple - just wedge them down yer troos

That reminds me of the lamps from my first pub. If anyone fancies robbing the place, I would love it! It's the Willow Tree in West Bridgford, Nottingham. I seem to recall there were six similar looking items.
And when I say robbing, I dont mean telling you the safe and alarm codes
