Tilley X246B Stormlights and their dates of manufacture Here are my three Tilley lanterns with the dates they were made. Left to right: Bill, Sam & Ted. From what I've been told, they switched to making the Mk II in September 1977, which makes Ted one of the last of the X246B Mk I lanterns. Keywords: Lanterns
