    Hi all and happy Sunday.
    I bought these two lamps at Goodwill today and was hoping to find out more about them.
    The taller lamp has John Scott Made in England on the knobs but no other markings. sadly the burner is drilled for the electric and I hope to replace it. Shade holder and shade are perfect.
    The second one it Amber glass Quilted pattern. A burner would be easier fo find for this one, But they drilled the switch hole through the shade..

    Amber lamp is 10 1/2" tall

    If the globe is an antique w/ hand painted flowers, it will have some value.

    I don't like electrified oil lamps to begin with, but when the electrification screws up the integrity of the lamp, that really gets me going. That John Scott burner is (was) a particularly nice one with dual wicks. Those aren't very common, and I have only one myself.

    Thank you @TallCakes .I was thinking Fenton. And I do too @Iowa Jayhawk . They even soldered the knobs. I don't think I will ever find a burner so maybe have to sell as is.

    I think I paid close to $40.00 for my burner, and I think I was lucky. What is really bad is when someone drills through the font of the lamp to electrify it from the bottom. Have seen more than one expensive lamp messed up that way.

    That's not a bad price @Iowa Jayhawk . I'm going to hold onto this and work on finding a burner.
    The Fenton has a p&a #1 pretty easy to find.
