The tag attached said it was called 'Niagra', and then I read the price... At £39 it unfortunately didn't get to follow me home. Looked in nice condition though, and had it been half that price it'd be here. It was also missing it's bulb. It has a lovely big 'bulls eye' lens on the front, I really like it, but I can't justify spending that much on it right now, unless someone comes along and says 'that's super rare, you'll never see another at that price', if they do, I'll be on my way back to fetch it!

If you go back to that shop, please do see if you can get a photo of that lamp. I have not heard of that make before so am most intrigued. Honestly, if it is WW1 era then £40 is about right. Maybe make an offer?
