An early dry-cell battery lamp by Ever Ready patented April 26 1898 and October 24 1899. The Ever Ready Company was founded by Conrad Hubert in 1898. This lamp used 3 dry-cell batteries that were similar to modern alkaline batteries. The small handle on the top of the lamp acts as a switch that turns the lamp on when pushed forward. Two small glass jewels, one red and one green, are located on each side of the lens shroud .
