Pretty neat, I'm not familiar with the American Safety Lamp and Mine Supply Company from Scranton, but that looks neat. Anyone know anything about that company?

The motor and coal cars look neat too

The American Safety Lamp and Mine Supply Company (ASL&MS Co.) began producing brass Clenny and Davy type safety lamps in Scranton as early as 1893. They produced 3 models of saftey lamp, one "gas sight indicator" for use in their B-1 lamp (modeled after a Wolf Lamp), an "Indestructible" seamless cast alluminum oil wick cap lamp, and a line of "Scranto" carbide cap and hand held lamps.

The one on ebay looks like a Wolf, so it must be an ASL&MS B-1.
