CARBIDE LAMPS

MINING LAMPS FROM OLD FRENCH MINES!  THESE ARE THE GENERATORS THAT YOU PUT CARBIDE AND WATER IN SEPARATE VESSELS IN THE LAMP TO MAKE ACETYLENE GAS.  THE ACETYLENE IS HOOKED TO A REFLECTOR LAMP TO PRODUCE LIGHT FOR THE MINERS.  I HAVE ONLY FOUR OF THESE LEFT!  THE LAMP BODY IS ABOUT 11 INCHES TALL AND 5 INCHES IN DIAMETER.  THE CHAIN AND HOOK ON TOP ARE ABOUT 14 INCHES ADDITIONAL.  THE PATINA IS JUST WONDERFUL ON THESE.  EACH ONE WEIGHS 3 TO 3 1/4 POUNDS.  A GREAT CONVERSATION AND DISPLAY PIECE -- MAN CAVE MATERIAL!
