Description: | mark, stamped, H. WATSON - NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE
Stephenson's earliest lamp had a perforated metal cover. Later this was substituted with a wire gauze cover, similar to other safety lamps of the early 1800s. Under the gauze was a glass cover, which shielded the flame from air currents. This lamp became known as the 'Geordie'.
