IT WAS MADE IN 1978
Hi,
I have found in my attic a miners lamp of your manufacture, I was most surprised to find you were still producing !
I wondered if you could date the lamp for me, I suspect its not that old judging by the condition. The details on the plate are Type 6 M & Q safety lamp Approval B/28. On the horizonal area below the glass there is a M and 78/ stamped in.
Regards

ReplyDeletemy lamp says GR6S M&Q...approval number B2/233, do you know how old it is?
Kind Regards

the gr6 was made until the early 1970's,it was then modified to the
ReplyDeletegr6s. so if you haven't got a 2 digit number eg;77/ for 1977. its
somewhere from mid 70's

Hi
ReplyDeleteAm I right in presuming that a letter J and 73/ dates my lamp to 1973?
I am also having some difficulty opening it in any way to clean can you advise?
Thanks
Hi,hope you can help.
ReplyDeleteMy lamp was made by Richard Johnson,Clapham and Morris so I assume Manchester?
It has 33 on the side of the lamp am I right in saying that this was just the lamp no'?
Lastly it has '57 tested' on the glass. Would this represent 1957 for the start of it's life?
Kind Regards.
