Two Wolf Type FS Mine Safety Lamps, Clanny style, fuel by lamp oil. Both are ruggedly made for rough use in underground mining. One is engraved around the base WOLF SAFETY LAMP CO (WM MAURICE) LTD SHEFFIELD / WOLF TYPE FS. The other lamp is unengraved. Explosive vapors can accumulate underground and be ignited by a miner's open-flame lamp or candle. Safety lamps worked by preventing the lamp flame from being in direct contact with the outside air by enclosing the lamp in glass and a fine metal gauze chimney. These gauze chimneys are fragile and easily compromised, so the Wolf Lamp protects the fine gauze within the sturdy metal tapered cylinder at the top. Each lamp is about 3.5 inches in diameter and 8.25 inches tall without the hook at the top. Quite the conversation starter, and here you can get two of them.
