Antique British Mining Lamp – Davies Derby Safety Lamp (Circa 1900)

Add a rare and historically significant piece to your collection with this authentic antique mining lamp, produced by Davies Derby & Co. Ltd, a renowned British manufacturer based in Birmingham. This heavy-duty safety lamp, made from a combination of steel and brass, dates back to around 1900 and is numbered 296.
