Lamp Restoration

I don't have a "before," but here's the "after." This is an 1880s Parker kerosene lamp, manufactured in Connecticut, USA. I've had a multi-month project restoring this, and although the photo is a bit dark, it represents hour after hour of hand polishing, cleaning, and installing an electric light source in this hanging oil lamp. Don't worry, with a twist of the socket I can re-install the oil burner, so no harm no foul.

Anyway, this is the culmination of weeks of waiting interspersed with lots of elbow grease!
