Antique Iron Miners Flame Safety Lamp - An antique miner's flame safety lamp, likely dating from the late 19th or early 20th century. The lamp is constructed from iron or steel and follows a standard cylindrical design. The upper section consists of a solid metal bonnet featuring a series of ventilation apertures around the top rim and is surmounted by a large iron suspension hook. The lower section includes a protective cage formed by five vertical metal rods. The lamp lacks manufacturer stamps or serial numbers, as any original markings are obscured by surface degradation. The body is currently marked with a white adhesive label reading Lot 001 and two small pink circular stickers marked 32.
