    Hi Everyone

    Today i purchased from a local charity shop this old wooden
    lamp, it was fitted with a large 6v battery but did not work.

    I had one of these batteries at home and after fitting it
    it now works fine.

    Please could anyone tell me how old it is and what type
    of lamp it was, the size of it is approx 5inches x4inches.



    With kind regards

    It is probably a 'bicycle' or 'house' lantern from the turn-of-the-century. :)

    Don't know what "TEC" means or anything about them, but this is a really cool piece that would look great on any shelf....+ it works!

    It does look like a lantern, and the joinery looks like 1890-1910. so King may very well be right. Good call!

    Excellent posts everyone
    I really appreciate all the information you have
    given me.

    I purchased it for £2 and have decided to give it
    to my local museum :)

    Thanks again everyone.:):):)
