Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds calcium carbide F/S

I have my grandfather's carbide lamp he wore daily for the 3 or 4 years he worked in the Glen Burn Mine in Shamokin, Pa back in the 20's (before he had the good sense to get out of that game). He told stories of guys suffering burnt hair and scorched faces from malfunctioning carbide lamps. They are anything but foolproof.

Go ahead and mail the carbide. Personally I really don't care. Just don't say you weren't warned when a couple postal inspectors come knocking at your door...
