Vintage Cambrian Brass Miner's Kerosene Safety Lamp Serial # 177964

Vintage Cambrian Brass Miner's Kerosene Safety Lamp Serial # 177964 Made at the Cambrian Lamp Works, Aberdare, Wales by E. Thomas & Williams Ltd. in 1986. The safety lamp was constructed in a way to prevent the flame from igniting combustible gas. The quite unique air-intake inside the bonnet prevented the heavier explosive gasses from reaching the flame. The special device in the bonnet preventing the heavier explosive gasses from reaching the flame is not built into the lamps of today! With a small device in the lamp’s bottom, the height of the wick can be adjusted. Dimensions 13" high x 3.5" diameter Serial # 177964 If you’re new to Poshmark - Welcome!
