MHillyard Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Lately i got a WW2 dated lamp, it seems very similar to some ww1 ones pictured on the forum. Any ideas what it would be used for? it seems quite late to be a vehicle lamp. Possibly railway? I fancy the idea of restoring it but not sure what they would have looked like. There is an olive paint on it but dont know if it is original or added later. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fv1609 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Possibly railway?] Indeed it was an ordinary railway guard's hand lamp that became Lamps, traffic control The centre portion should revolve to give red, white or green light. There should be a mask with an arrow that could be turned to indicate direction. Used for route marking, diversions etc but the two clips allow fitting on a bracket of a motor bike.
