<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 401, member: 44&quot;]A few days ago I bought a miniature green glass footed finger lamp embossed with &quot;Little Jewel.&quot; It stands 3 3/8&quot; to top of collar. It is in very good condition. I know the burner is not really there. That didn&#039;t bother me for several extra mini burners. Anyways, I got it for only $22. In 2006 price guides valued colored glass ones at $125 scarce. I have seen them sold at 2 to $300+.</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Green-Vaseline-LITTLE-JEWEL-Mini-FINGER-OIL-LAMP-Miniature-Uranium-Glows-/221437373406?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item338eb22bde&amp;nma=true&amp;si=XWIorDG1HuWd797iI2KuwOVwTKk%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Green-Vaseline-LITTLE-JEWEL-Mini-FINGER-OIL-LAMP-Miniature-Uranium-Glows-/221437373406?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item338eb22bde&amp;nma=true&amp;si=XWIorDG1HuWd797iI2KuwOVwTKk%253D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-Green-Vaseline-LITTLE-JEWEL-Mini-FINGER-OIL-LAMP-Miniature-Uranium-Glows-/221437373406?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&amp;hash=item338eb22bde&amp;nma=true&amp;si=XWIorDG1HuWd797iI2KuwOVwTKk%3D&amp;orig_cvip=true&amp;rt=nc&amp;_trksid=p2047675.l2557</a></p><p><br /></p><p>It is listed/pictured in S1 (Smith&#039;s Miniature Lamps, I), p. 52, fig. 44. The seller said it was &quot;vaseline&quot; glass and &quot;Early 1900s U.S. Glass Co.&quot; I agree with the early 1900s because it has an inset brass collar that weren&#039;t produced until 1910+. I haven&#039;t found any reference to it being by U.S. Glass and not sure if vaseline glass. Smith only says made in clear and in green glass. Searching the web for any reference of it being US Glass came up with a yellow one pictured on the Carnival Heaven website in the Novelty section Part 11.. The site&nbsp; says: </p><p>&quot;LITTLE JEWEL Finger Lamp:&nbsp; With risk of repetition, we must say again that this falls into the “after-market” category. Eleanor Hamilton enjoyed the unusual in miniatures and this was part of her collection.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.carnivalheaven.com/carnivalglass105/id106.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.carnivalheaven.com/carnivalglass105/id106.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.carnivalheaven.com/carnivalglass105/id106.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Back to my original question, is this carnival glass? Does anyone know if US Glass had any connection to these miniature lamps? I haven&#039;t found anything connecting US Glass in any of my many miniature lamp books as well as my many oil lamp references. I have queried the seller for their US Glass source, but haven&#039;t heard back. TIA.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
