Description: Vintage Justrite Miner's Carbide (acetylene) cap lamp. Manufactured by the Justrite Manufacturing Company, Chicago, Illinois during the first half of the 20th century. All brass construction, with a cap band hook on the back of the water tank. Acetylene gas is produced when water from the lamp's upper level encounters the calcium carbide stored in the base via a dripping mechanism. The amount of water flowing into the carbide container can be controlled, with more water producing more gas and a bigger flame when the lamp is lit. Ignition of the lamp is effected by a flint wheel mechanism in one side of the reflector. The lamp has seem some wear and tear in use but seems to be sound and would probably work if filled with carbide and water. Payment and Shipping UK postage £5.45 by Royal Mail Tracked 48 Post. Worldwide overseas postage via eBay Global Shipping Programme (please see postal rates for eBay estimate for shipping cost).
