- Description
Keepers at offshore stations would be supplied with everything they needed by their employers at the Northern Lighthouse Board. This cup with dominant NLB logo would be one such item supplied so the keepers could enjoy as normal a life as possible on the rocks. Everything the Board supplied from bedding and aprons to cutlery and crockery was stamped with an identify mark to show what was the Commissioners’ official property.
