mining lamp
Description (Brief):
Manufactured by Ceag, this lamp was worn on the harness of a mining mule and would have been in use around 1916. Mules were used in the mining tunnels to haul ore to the surface, even after electricity was used in the mining industry. Some mules would spend their whole lives underground, even being stabled there.
