Burner for Identification [INDEX: Evered & Sons]

The images below are of a (partial) burner that a dealer friend had
on a lamp at The Eastern National Harrisburg Show this past weekend.
It was silver plated (likely NOT originally so), I would guess
German, had "R. E. & S." on the wick knob, and a strange long (3/4"
or more) fine-threaded fitter that matched the collar on the lamp.
The fitter was tapered a bit instead of being straight sided. It's a
Number 1 burner, flat wick. It's missing several of the elements of
the "crown", and the burner cone.
The dealer would like to have
two complete ones! Lacking that, we'd like to know if anyone can
identify the burner (manufacturer, who "R.E.& S." was (UK, I'd
guess), and if the long tapered fiter is found elsewhere. :: Fil ::

Hi Fil, Your burner looks like a Night Light by James Hinks and Son,
Birmingham, but are the initials correctly read? On the picture, I
can recognise a 'J' instead of the 'R' you type. I don't know
anything about the threaded and tapered fitter. Many of UK burners
like complete lamps may be originally silver plated.

Ara: It may have been "J.H. & S"...I'll check some UK catalogues and
see if I can find the "Night Light" burner. Thanks!
