This lamp, in remarkably well-preserved state, features an original blue oxide coating on the bonnet. It is a fully authentic specimen, complete with a stamped production number “No178” on the Cell, Cage, and Protector outer wick tube. The “58/” marking signifies its production year as 1958. This lamp was acquired through an online auction hosted by The British Heart Foundation Charity Shop. HL lamps are rather uncommon, and finding one in such impeccable condition is exceedingly rare.
The lamp’s cell offers wind wick adjustment, while the cage bars boast an outward taper and a magnetic lock (although this feature is currently disabled).
