<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bosko69, post: 4624051, member: 16283&quot;]Here&#039;s an oddball piece I&#039;ve had kicking around for years.It&#039;s 11 1/4&quot; tall,made of brass,wood,cast iron and Goodyear rubber or Gutta Percha.It&#039;s stamped-&#039;W.W. Batchelder Patented Sept. 7,1869&#039;. It&#039;s a gas table lamp,the &#039;top cap&#039; (the section w/ the wood handle) revolves smoothly on a black glass disc mounted btw the top and lower base,the wood handle is jointed,goes up &amp; down (to regulate gas flow ?) and is a handle to revolve the top.</p><p>&nbsp; I found Batchelder&#039;s Patent for this (and misplaced it !) and the paper described some kind of &#039;Electric Ignition Device&#039; which ignites the gas in the upper (missing) globe.</p><p>&nbsp; Any info on this piece would be very greatly appreciated-the missing patent drawing,or most especially a pic of one of these fully assembled w/ the missing parts.Thanks much.
