Antique Vintage PERMISSIBLE MINERS SAFETY LAMP No. 201 Kohler Mfg. Co.

Description

The Safety Lamps were not really about providing light in the mine but took the place of the  Canary. If the flame turned to a certain color that meant the level of methane was not safe. It would be time to GET OUT.  It is mostly in very good condition. A small dent in the top plate can be seen in pic. 5. The lamp has not been tested. The glass is not chipped or cracked. It does not have gaskets in place. The spark striker works. The wire mesh is in good shape.
it is 10 1/2" high not including the hook. The base is 3 3/4" in diameter.
