Large metal Justrite carbide lamp with a handle on the top. The lamp has a large, round reflector on the front with a small nozzle in the centre and a spot for a flint wheel on the lower left. The body of the lamp is comprised of a water chamber on the top and a carbide chamber on the bottom (slightly larger than the water chamber). The top of the water chamber has a small, round water door as well as a knob in the centre and "Justrite" is in slightly raised lettering. There is a vertical line design around the exterior of the carbide chamber. The handle is attached to the sides of the water chamber. A large metal hook for hanging is in the centre of the handle. There is a hook on the reverse of the lamp for attaching the lamp to the user’s helmet. |
