<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 17720, member: 44&quot;]You might want to add to a description of this Duncan &quot;Quartered Block&quot; that it is in Thuro&#039;s <i>Oil Lamps, The Kerosene Era in North America</i>, pp. 298-299, in the 1880-1900 section. 4 sizes of this pattern are pictured. The author says it was made in at least 3 more sizes.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is certainly too bad about the collar. The collar is called a &quot;shrunk-on&quot; collar. &quot;These were described in an advertisement by Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton Co. of Findlay, Ohio, as &#039;Patent, Improved, Shrunk-on Collars&#039; and claimed &#039;No Cement, No Leaky Lamps, No Weak Lamps, No Complaints.&#039; In Findlay Pattern Glass by Don Smith, this collar is said to have been patented by Philip Ebling of the Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton Company .... and was first used in May 1894.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
