Ltd.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe maker's plate gives the company name with the hyphen between Humber and St Andrew's. The firm registered that name on 25 June 1946. Its works stood at St Andrew's Dock in Hull, and the dock closed on 3 November 1975. The lamp was therefore made between those two dates.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAn anchor light is the light a ship shows when she lies at anchor rather than under way. It burns white and has to be seen all round the horizon, which is why the body is a plain cylinder with no coloured glass and no shade on any side. The glass is a clear cylinder without prisms.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe lampholder is the original fitting, so the lamp left the works as an electric light. I have fitted a new cord with a strain relief, earthed it, and put in a new B22 LED bulb. It can be plugged in and used as it is.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThere is a small crack in the bottom, and the glass has some light scratches.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eA good piece for a collection of ship's lamps, and just as much at home as a working light in the house, a study or in an industrial interior.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eSpecifications\u003cbr\u003eMaker: Humber-St Andrew's Engineering Co.
