I'm looking for a photograph of a Premier 'King' carbide handlamp to illustrate a paper by the late Christopher Williams.

Can anyone provide a photograph or suggest a source? Even an illustration from a Premier catalogue would be useful.

Thanks

There are a couple of Premier hand lamps shown on the site, but unfortunately no model names are given.

I have a Premier King handlamp. The only number I can see on it is R123 on the top of the clamp, plus the brass plate on the back.

If you would like some photos or indeed, want to borrow the lamp, please pm me.

Where there's a mine or a hole in the ground.
That's where I'm heading for that's where I'm bound
So follow me down Cousin Jack
