The second item is a square-bodied lamp with a vented chimney and a fixed vertical strap handle, containing fixed glass panels in red, amber, and blue. Both pieces exhibit a heavy patina consistent with industrial or railway use. A yellow adhesive label on the cylindrical lamp body reads 1722, and a separate white label on the square lamp chimney reads 1138.
