<p>[QUOTE=&quot;shamelessthrifter, post: 11102979, member: 95568&quot;]Alright mystery solvers- I finally had time to take it apart. After some google image searches, I am fairly confident this was an oil lamp converted to electric. Anyone know much about oil lamps to help confirm that? I also found the number &quot;43&quot; hand scratched on the bottom of the base as well as the bottom of what appears to be the original oil chamber? The hole drilled into the bottom of the base seems a bit sloppy, so that furthers my hypothesis that this was converted.&nbsp; That would explain the differences in the bottom from the USA parts on the top.&nbsp; On the photo of the top of the oil chamber, there are metal pieces that would not be needed if this had always been an electric lamp.&nbsp; Thoughts???
