- Description (Brief)
- Mathieu Louis-Mueseler of Liege, Belgium manufactured this safety lamp around 1864-1904. The lamp was approved for use in Belgian mines, and was an improvement on the Clanny-style lamp due its improved ventilation leading to a brighter flame and less chance of combustion. The lamp features a glass enclosure for the flame and metal gauze at the top.
