Miner's Safety Lamp
notes: label: Description (Brief)
content: This is a safety lamp manufactured by the Friemann and Wolf Company of Zwickau, Germany in the late 19th century. The Friemann and Wolf Company was a prominent lamp manufacturer that exported their lamps to the U.S. until World War I, when buying German products became unpopular. This lamp employs a glass casing to protect the flame from being extinguished, and wire gauze to cool the flame and prevent mine gas from igniting.
