Standing just 3 inches tall, this tiny yet detailed model is a rare and eye-catching collectible, perfect for enthusiasts of mining memorabilia or British coinage.

This charming lamp is constructed using a 1942 brass threepence coin for the base and a farthing coin for the top, showcasing the creativity and resourcefulness often seen in apprentice work.

The lamp features stamped initials “GMH / PH” on one side and “SEJ” on the reverse, likely representing the maker or a dedication to miners past. The initials, along with the coin details, add to its provenance and potential uniqueness.
