An evocative piece of industrial history, this vintage coal miner’s lamp is a genuine 3-cell alkaline tubular battery unit, made in England and originally supplied by the Concorde Electric Safety Lamp Co. Ltd., Yuma Works, Cardiff. Stamped directly into the casing, the technical specifications and manufacturer details add to its authenticity and industrial appeal.

This type of lamp would have been strapped to a miner’s belt and connected via cable to a head-mounted lamp, providing vital illumination deep underground. Though now untested and sold as a display item, it retains its rugged original condition with an aged patina and some surface wear appropriate for its previous use. The lens and battery casing show signs of long-term use, and the unit stands as a powerful reminder of Britain’s mining heritage.

Perfect for: Collectors of industrial memorabilia, mining enthusiasts, steampunk décor fans, or those creating a historically-inspired interior.

Add this to your collection or display for a gritty, authentic touch of working-class history.
