My Mother's kerosene lamp identification - can you help?

    My Mother bought this lamp about 45 years ago at an auction. She would like to find out what she can about it. There are no marks on it, other than the knobs on the Duplex burner from England. We did find the glass and chimney on a different base on an auction website.

    Thank you for looking.

    Aquitaine Is What It IS! But NEVER BORED!

    Could you tell us what it says on the knobs....it's too blurry to read them..... thank you.....I am posting your images full size though.......... @Ghopper1924 ?

    Sorry, I see now one knob says (I think) “Made in England”…..but still can’t read the bottom part….

    It indeed does say Made in England. The part that you can't read says Duplex. I know that they made the double burner, but I don't know that they made the entire lamp. I appreciate your looking into this.

    Figtree3 What would you do if you weren't afraid?

    I'm not knowledgeable about lamps, but... can you get a picture of the bottom side of the base? Even with no marks, maybe it will help.
