Vintage Patterson Brass Miners Safety Lamp – Gateshead – Plaque Dated 1984 – Spares / Display

Description:

Vintage Patterson Lamps Ltd brass miner’s safety lamp manufactured in Gateshead, England.

This is a traditional brass mining lamp of the type used historically in coal mines. It features the original brass construction and has a front plaque marked “1984”.

Please note the following condition details:

• The front brass plaque marked “1984” is cracked (clearly shown in the photos).

• There appears to be a small part missing from the base ignition/striker tube. From research this would normally house the relighting striker mechanism used to spark the lamp.

• The base screws off as it should, but due to the age of the lamp it has not been tested.

• Sold as found and untested, therefore best considered for display, restoration, or collection purposes rather than practical use.

This would make a great decorative mining memorabilia piece, especially for collectors of mining history or industrial antiques.

I will include as many photos as possible to show the condition clearly, including the cracked plaque and the missing striker component, so please review them carefully.

Condition:
Vintage condition with signs of age and use. Missing striker mechanism and cracked front plaque. Untested.

Postage:
Will be carefully packaged and sent securely.
