Wylie Harris

Not too many of these around, but becoming more common...

Late 1940's, made in Wales

Alcohol tank built into the base, boiler/firebox straps are springs and mine appears to have had a red painted boiler when new, some were green.

Carl, Wylie Harris is the make from Wales at the Treforest Trading Estate in Pontypridd

Jim, I've had this one since May of 2010 and have seen between 5-10 others in this configuration selling for roughly  £125-150

I have seen more green-boilered examples than my red-boilered above

And then there is this rare bird, which I have yet to add, one look at the prices may explain why  ;)

It's interesting.  You don't see one of these forever and then one pops up on eBay and then it seems to spur other sellers.
