<p>[QUOTE=&quot;leeddie, post: 200023, member: 3680&quot;]I have had these lamps for a couple of years and have not been able to find anything other than the wick adjuster knob was made by Plume &amp; Atwood.&nbsp; The last patent date on the knob is Feb 27, 1877.&nbsp; The lamps are nickle plate over brass and measure approx. 28&quot;h and&nbsp; 13 1/4&quot; farthest depth from the wall. The top of the tubing differ in the square tubing topped with an urn finial and the round tubing having an acorn.&nbsp;&nbsp; The fount fits inside the decorative bowl which measures&nbsp; measures 5&quot; x 7&quot; including the drop finial.&nbsp; And is zinc lined.&nbsp; The chimney holder ring measures 4&quot; diameter.&nbsp; There is a hidden release behind the square tubing facing the wall which allows the chimney holder to slide up and down so one can light or adjust the double wicks.&nbsp; The holder also fits snug aon top of the fount bowl holder.&nbsp; A friend suggested they might be railroad lamps from an upscale passenger car.&nbsp; I have not found any railroad lamps that look like these.</p><p>They were attached to the tongue and groove blue boards when I found them.&nbsp; [ATTACH=full]57123[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57125[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57126[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57127[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57128[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57129[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]57130[/ATTACH]</p><p>I have not been able to find the exact burner, I did find some similar but they had a round screen below the wicks. That burner has a knob which reads P &amp; A Mfg. Co, Oxford. </p><p>I would like to know the maker if possible plus any other info which might be had. Would&nbsp; 1880 be about the right time frame?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
