Probably one of the most attractive handlamps are these Great Western Railway large "copper" top handlamps, this superb example is in ex railway service condition with a great patina. Many copper tops like this had plain lenses on the front and some had G.W.R. etched into the glass, very rare to find one with B.R.(W). as this one is meaning this lamp survived long into British Railways Western Region days. The outer case is stamped G.W.R. and the oil reservoir is stamped G.W.R. with an "S" for Swindon where the lamp was made. A most attractive handlamps with polished brass and copper which really sets it of. Both red and green lenses are present and in good condition.
