A brass and copper miner’s safety lamp, cylindrical in shape with a domed top and flat base. The front features a glass lens protected by a cross-pattern brass grill, and the body includes a small hinged latch mechanism for access to the internal light source. The lamp has a metal handle and hook attached at the back for carrying or hanging.
This type of lamp was used primarily in mines or confined industrial environments, providing portable and durable illumination. The lamp design suggests an early to mid-20th century production period.
