This example is a small midget size lamp, standing at approximately 6 inches in height, and carries a detailed engraved presentation inscription dating to 3rd May 1932. The engraving records the visit of H.E. the Argentine ambassador Dr Don M E Malbran to the Powell Duffryn Bargoed Colliery, placing this piece firmly within an important historical industrial context.
