On offer is a vintage Thomas & Williams safety lamp, dated 1974, produced in Aberdare, Wales. Best known for their mining safety lamps, Thomas & Williams were established in 1860 and became one of Britain’s leading makers of flame-safety lighting for hazardous environments. This example is a rarer Post Office issue, marked on the brass plaque: “Thomas & Williams Ltd Aberdare – P.O.”, indicating use in underground or enclosed operational settings within the postal system.

Constructed from brass and steel, the lamp retains its internal components and original fittings. It stands approximately 10 inches tall excluding the handle and remains in good vintage condition with surface wear consistent with age. A fine example of a Thomas & Williams Post Office safety lamp, collected for both industrial and postal history.
