A J. Davis & Son Brass Miner's or Industrial Lantern, Derby, Late 19th/Early 20th Century
Description
A J. Davis & Son Brass Miner’s or Industrial Lantern, manufactured in Derby, England, dating to the late 19th or early 20th century. This utilitarian lantern features a robust carrying handle and a prominent, open conical front aperture, designed to house a lens or light source. Its heavy-duty construction is indicative of its intended use in industrial, railway, or mining environments. An oval impressed plaque on the body, though heavily corroded, displays partially legible English text including “S.D.G.”, “PATENT”, “ENTERED BY ACT OF PARLIAMENT”, “J. DAVIS & SON”, “SOLE MAKER”, and “DERBY”.
