A rare vintage brass coal miner's flashlight or safety torch painted black with wear to paint .Made in England and approved by the Mines Department Home Office.  It is very heavy and well constructed. The lens is protected by metal and the head has to be unlatched before it can be removed to change the bulb.It is 11" long

Sold as untested with no battery or bulb

Couple of small dinks

Glass lens has no cracks

Would made a lovely restoration piece either repainted ,stripped back or left as it is.
