The burner and not necessarily the lamp was manufacturered by the A. & P. Gaudard Co. of Morbier, France (now Jura, France). It has one of the Gaudard thumbwheel designs.</p><p>Scroll down to the France section, 4th listed/pictured in right column.</p><p><a href="http://lumiara.perso.neuf.fr/lumiara/en/manuen.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://lumiara.perso.neuf.fr/lumiara/en/manuen.htm" rel="nofollow">http://lumiara.perso.neuf.fr/lumiara/en/manuen.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The company is still in business today.
