Asset Overview
This lamp was produced in Germany around 1950. Around that time, the technique of batteries developed a lot, and batteries could now be used in the mine lamps as well. The firestone igniters in the mineworkers’ lamps got replaced by electric igniters, fed by a battery. This lamp only has a single mesh cap. In the later versions of this lamp, a second mesh cap was placed around this one, to make it stronger.
