I have checked with a friend who knows quite a bit about mining lamps. His answers to recent queries (Alasdair Roberts 22 Aug and 11 June) are below.

Hi Roger,
Firstly the initials, 5 possibles!
Collins Green Colliery Co. Ltd - lancashire and the lamp is a lancashire maker.
Craignethan Gas Coal Co. - scotland
Crosby & Gilerux Colliery Co. - cumberland
Cairnstable Gas Coal Co. Ltd - scotland
Cefn Gyfelach Colliey Co. - wales
Patterson,
I think had 3 different factorys/locations
Newcastle on tyne
Felling on tyne
Gateshead on tyne
There are badges for all 3 locations on various lamps. Believe gateshead was the last location.
Regards
GARY
