<p>[QUOTE="Raychel, post: 10504718, member: 17826"]Hi! Thank you! I really wish I knew it's history before I got it. I wasn't expecting it to be all original now I'm even more amazed at it's condition- the only flaw is the little dent on the brass collar in the photo. You said it's an oil lamp, not kerosene, or is that the same thing?</p><p>I have searched catalogs off and on for atleast 10 years and haven't found this exact base or combination of parts. It's also very possible missed it. I was also leaning towards Bradley and Hubbard. I'm going to take a closer look at it and see if I missed a mark somewhere. </p><p>I did find who got the patent with the original sketch he submitted- it was Bennet B Schneider for "Improvement in Lamp Collars, Oil lamp collar with grooves for oil return". </p><p>it has a Queen Anne #2 burner. The dial says Scovill Mfg Co. I don't know if any of that helps</p><p>I don't know if it's allowed to discuss this- if it's not, I'll delete it but I have an Etsy shop & just never really wanted to put this in it until our air conditioner just died. Before I also perish in this heat, I must let some of my favorites go. (Sounds dramatic but it's really really hot lol) </p><p>You all have been wonderful! Im excited to learn more about it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
