Antique 1800 Traveling Miner's marked 'Beaufils' candle hotsell lamp with wall or hat hook and belt hook too.

hotsell Antique Traveling Miner's marked 'Beaufils' candle lamp with wall or hat hook and belt hook too.
I was told this is an early lamp that would have been either hooked onto a log on a wall, used by a miner by hooking on his cap or the side of the mine, or as a traveling lamp. It is 5 1/2" tall x 2" diameter, and extends to a height of almost 9.50".
It currently has part of an old candle inside. The top flips back to allow access to the candle.
Believed that this safety lamp is a patent model constructed by Nicolas Louis Beaufils and Jacques Rexroth of Paris, France.
Late 1800's.
The nickel plate is in excellent condition with just the odd mark as you would expect with age and use. Needs a little cleaning but we do not disturb our antiques as our collector clients prefer to purchase items as we find them.

An amazing and rare piece! Very collectable.
