At last in the 1920s, motoring for the masses started to arrive. Petroleum spirit, which was origionally used for lighting, was first distributed in 2 gallon cans and bulk barrels. As motor vehicles became more popular so the demand for petrol rapidly increased. Cans were both awkward and dangerous.

The lamp has been wired with an antique looking 0.75 twisted flex and it has E27 lamp holder, black 3amp plug and a black on/off switch fitted to the cable. 

The metalwork has been lacquered.

This lamp comes with a E27 G125 LED bulb.

The lamp has been PAT tested and meets current legislation.
