Excellent Eccles Type 6 "Protector" miners safety lamp in good condition.
These lamps were designed to not ignite and gas that miners might encounter and normally padlocked closed by the mine owners to prevent anybody from exposing the flame whilst underground (normally to light a cigarette) and potentially causing an explosion. A really interesting object that looks great on display.
