Tin carbide lamp

It is a tin carbide lamp with a shade. It has two layers, with water on top and carbide on the bottom. The water dripping from the top layer reacts with the carbide to produce acetylene gas, which ignites and turns into a lamp.

There are no letters on it, so I don't know the manufacturer or the age, but I think it's from around the 1950s. There is some rust, dents, and some carbide burnt material inside, but it's not badly damaged. Combustion has not been confirmed.

Size: Base diameter approx. 14cm, maximum depth approx. 20.5cm, height approx. 32.5cm
