This specific lamp is a scarce early production variant dating precisely between 1913 and 1915. It features the notable, brief manufacturing detail where the top of the body is stamped solely with the word \"ON\" near the water drip adjustment lever (excluding the later \"OFF\" markings). **KEY FEATURES & DETAILS:**
* **Complete Top Components:** Retains its original front reflector dish, burner tip nozzle, top filler cap, and rear hat mounting hook.
* **Chamber Contents:** The lower caroffere chamber unscrews smoothly. It contains original, historical remnants of old calcium caroffere rock fuel inside the base, left completely untouched for museum-style authenticity.
** Includes a thin vintage metal rod that a previous owner historically brazed onto the back of the lamp. It cleanly separated after recovery, but is included as part of its unique field-modified history.**CONDITION:**
Offered in honest, unpolished antique condition with heavy oxidation, tarnish, minor dings, and surface wear consistent with age and active underground use. The bottom threads are intact and unscrew cleanly. Sold as-is, untested for modern functionality—a premier rustic display piece for serious mining equipment or early industrial lighting collectors.Please review all high-resolution photos for exact cosmetic condition and completeness.
