Admiralty Signalling Lantern dated 1944
$70
From WW2 dated 1944 used for night-time convoy identification this is a portable Admiralty Signalling Lamp, Pattern (model) 1038. It was manufactured by Harris Crabb Pty. Ltd. of Sydney Australia. The lamp/globe holder inside has a 12V 21W globe. There is also a second holder included in the design that was just for holding a spare globe.
The front carousel-disc can be rotated to select from the 5 lenses (4 coloured and 1 clear) RED, BLUE, GREEN, WHITE & CLEAR.
The battery compartment underneath is hinged to the main unit’s two [electricity] connection pole-terminals (a battery is not included).
There are front and rear sights than can be adjusted.
Inside there is an electrical on-off (open-closed) contact mechanism operated by the trigger at the front of the grip/handle. There are two knurled ‘fine-tune’ adjustment screws for the contacts. This operates much like a Telegraph Morse Code key.
Height approx. 19.5cm
Width approx. 10cm
Depth approx. 14cm
Weight approx. 1.7 kilos
This item is old and used and showing normal signs of wear-and-tear for its age. I do not know if it still operates and so is sold here ‘as is’ for display purposes only.

- Hard Hat and Carbide LampVintage Hard Hat and Lamp. Nice mancave display piece. This is an incredibly RARE hard hat. I do not know what it is made of possibly fibreglass or some sort of early ‘Duraglass’ like plastic, perhaps even a highly compressed composite ‘wood pulp’ material? I see that some very early hard hats are referred to as ‘Boiled Fibreglass’ but I think this could well be an urban myth based on a pre-1940’s patented process by the American E.D.
