A. Benitschke’s Sohn Pieler Lamp

A. Benitschke’s Sohn was a well-know manufacturer of mining lamps in what was Bohemia (Czech Republic region).  This particular Pieler lamp is fitted with a removable bonneted that has a sliding window for observation.  Note the vertical scale on one on the standards. Magnetic lock, flame snuffer, but made without igniter.  Instead of a brass gauze that Pielers usually have, this lamp gauze appears to be made out of stainless alloy.  In addition, the gauze weave is an unusual twill pattern.  Circa 1920’s.
