Victorian Oil Lamp, Young's Duplex Burner, Art Glass Shade, Brass
Absolutely gorgeous Victorian oil lamp (late 1800's to early 1900's) with an art glass shade, brass embossed column and black porcelain over metal base. It is 22 1/2 inches tall (to top of chimney), the font is 6 1/2 inches wide, the shade is 7 1/2 inches tall and 8 1/4 inches wide at the top.
The shade has a ruffled top and is clear on the bottom going to green around the top, bottom opening is 3 7/8 inches, no flaws. The font has a few very small bubbles in the glass due to it's age, no flaws. The embossed brass column has no flaws. I think the chimney might have been replaced, but I can't tell.
The burner controls have a black glass head that both say " YOUNG'S SCREW # 1" It's very hard to read, especially in the photo. The burner has stamped on it across the top "YOUNG'S DUPLEX", On the burner, 4 of the "prong" type things (sorry I don't know what they're called, I'm not a lamp person) that hold the chimney have broken off (see photo # 10), but it still holds the chimney very.
Note the old type nut in the bottom of the base. I got this at an estate sale of an antiques collector who especially loved oil lamps and hurricane lamps. It's certainly worth it. I enter the actual weight of the package and E bay calculates how much it will cost to go from my zip code to yours. If it seems excessive, it is just due to where you live and the weight of the package.
My goal is to get items to you undamaged, but I have received many items broken, the post office is not very careful I've discovered. If something arrives and the box looks like it's been mishandled, please take a photo, then if there is damage get a photo of the damage and send these to me so I can start a claim.
