Headlamp
 

Hi everyone, I live in South Africa and am very new to this game. I need some advice please. On auction shortly is a Brass and Metal Tonum size 14 Steam Locomotive Headlamp by J Stone & Co. It is in very good condition - very heavy. Can anyone give me an estimate on what this item would be worth, there do not seem to be many about. Think I have added 2 pictures.
Any information gratefully received.:rolleyes:
regards Mickafrica

Hello mickafrica and welcome to the Railway Forum. Can't help with your question, but I think some of the South African sites may be of help to you. 27vet, a member on this forum has far more up to date on railway clubs in S.A. than I do.

hi, thanks for that, will have a look.

Welcome to the forum, dear Mick.

Welcome to the forum Mick. Some very rare steam engines over there! Do you have an interest in steam?
All the best

Hi many thanks for the welcome. To be honest, I am an absolute greeny, but learning fast. My husband and I buy things on auctions and re-sell as a hobby. Just lately we have come across a number of Railway related items which I have sold with long teeth. I have now bought the headlamp as described in my earlier note - it is truly a lovely item and think I will have to hang onto it for awhile......in my search for info on this light I have read up so much that I am hooked. Regards Mick
