While sorting through an inherited collection, we found a headlamp with the following markings: “Made in England – Joseph Lucas, Birmingham – LBD 166 – Limited England.” Based on its appearance and the markings, we believe it may date from the pre-war era or possibly the Second World War period.

We would be very grateful for any guidance you can offer regarding its approximate age and the vehicle(s) it may have been fitted to. Any historical context or identification tips would be much appreciated.
