hello, this hole served as a sealed to prevent opening in the mine (risk of explosion of firedamp) a rivet made of lead was introduced and squeezed in a press by the "lamp man" and removed everyday for filling up the fount. It was totally forbidden to open lamps in mines that contain methane gas,. cheers

[@retro_restorations]

Thank you for sharing your helpful additional information :)

Hi, mine has the lead seal in place, but I think the swing arm has been modified for opening without disrupting the seal...
How do you fill? And what with. I want to get mine operating, but do not want to damage in any way. I can only see you must pull out the wick?

[@retro_restorations]

Yes I remember you would need to pull out the wick then pour in your combustible. Someone might see this comment and give you a good suggestion of what to use.

@@retro_restorations, Tks. I was looking further on-line. Mine is slightly different model to your Type 6. Yours looks like it takes a seal in the swing arm hole. Mine uses a blind pin and a magnet to release the pin.
When the swing arm is out of the way, you can see a tank fill hole beneath the swing arm. Makes sense, as you would not want to strip every time you top-up.
