On offer is an early antique miners lamp made by Hailwood Ackroyd and Best, a respected manufacturer of safety lamps used throughout the coal mining industry. This example retains its original porcelain wick holder — a feature associated with the earliest models — along with its glass chamber and metal body. Standing at approximately 11 inches (28 cm) tall, it shows age-related wear, missing badges, and a rough upper section, all consistent with long service underground.

Hailwood Ackroyd and Best were known for producing durable, practical lamps that played an essential role in improving miner safety during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This surviving example offers valuable insight into industrial history and represents a scarce early variant of their design.
