Lamp made from CS Gas canister

CS Gas canister fired by the RUC during the Battle of the Bogside in 1969. The canister was turned into a working lamp by Derry man George Sweeney as a present for Raymond McClean, who later went on to become the first SDLP mayor of Derry in 1974. The lamp is currently on display in the Museum of Free Derry.
