Chesneau Lamp

This Chesneau lamp is of German make and marked “Wilhelm Seippel  Gruben-Sicherheitslampen & Maschinenfabrik  BOCHUM i.W.”  This particular example is unfired. The main difference between  French  and  German built Chesneaus is that the German lamps have a fabricated font, while the French lamps have a heavy cast font.  Dating this lamp is difficult.  It was probably made between 1910-1930, but even post W.W.II might be possible.
