Dayburning 90W Revo C13720 "Dalek", Wolverhampton (Claire Pendrous)

C13720 to C13723: Nowadays these lanterns are nicknamed "DALEKS" in some circles because of the dimples that existed on the bowl, resembling the outside of a Dalek. Although I remember seeing a few of these lamps in the streets around my childhood home, most of them have now been exterminated (ouch).
