A heavy, round brass bulkhead light made by Gabriel & Co. of Birmingham, reclaimed from marine service. It has a hinged glass dome, a hinged brass junction box on top and a cast mounting lug, built the way ship's fittings were built to last.

The maker

Gabriel & Co. started life in 1884 as a small brass foundry in A.B. Row, Birmingham, founded by Percy Gabriel, and grew into one of the city's long-standing brassfounders. The firm is still trading today. The maker's oval stamp is on the junction box lid, and the fitting carries an AP-prefix number (AP17190 on this example) in the style of Admiralty Pattern numbering.
