| Description |
This lamp was owned and used by Bill Stephenson. It was used as an emergency source of light in his early caving years. It was used between the years of 1938-1948 in Clarks Cave and Witherrow Cave in Bath County, VA, and Spring Hill Cave in Rockbridge County (?). It was used in the camp area and as an extra source of light while caving. It was also used at Warm Springs, VA in the bath house because there were no lights in the bath house. |
