On offer is a vintage Thomas & Williams Post Office safety lamp dated 1974, manufactured in Aberdare, Wales. Founded in 1860, Thomas & Williams became one of Britain’s most respected makers of miners’ safety lamps, supplying industries throughout the world. This example is a scarcer Post Office issue, bearing the original brass plaque marked “Thomas & Williams Ltd Aberdare P.O.”, identifying it as a lamp produced for Post Office use rather than the more commonly encountered mining examples.

Constructed from brass and steel, the lamp retains its original internal components and fittings. It stands approximately 10 inches tall excluding the handle and remains in good vintage condition with light age related wear consistent with its working life. Untested for function, it is offered as a collectable display piece. A fine example of a Thomas & Williams Post Office safety lamp that will appeal to collectors of Welsh mining memorabilia, industrial antiques, and postal history.
