This is a Great Looking Authentic Antique American Brass Ice Skating Oil Lantern. Over the Years They Have Commonly Been Referred to as "Skater Lamps". It has No Maker Mark that I Can Find but The Top of the Lamp is Embossed with a Patent Date of December 24th, 1867. Back in the day Night Time Ice Skating on Local Lakes and Ponds was a popular Winter Entertainment and Social Event. This Lamp has a Chain with a Finger Hole Ring Allowing it to Dangle - Sway When Used. It is in Very Good All Original - Exactly as it Has Survived Over the Years Condition. It Still Retains its Original Molded Glass Globe that is in Excellent Condition - No Damage. It is Age Tarnished but I am Sure that it Would Polish Beautifully if So Desired. The Globe has a Few Bubbles and a Faint Crescent Shape Outer Surface Mark but These Would Have Occurred in The Making. It Also has a Very Old - Most Likely Original Braided Cloth Wick That is in Poor Condition and Should be Replaced with a New One ( These Can Easily Be Purchased Online in All Sizes ) if You are Planning on Filing it with Lamp Oil and Using it. The Brass Top Cap has a Few Small Dents. The Brass Base - Oil Tank has a Steel - Tin Bottom. It Has No Holes or Potential Leaks. Truly a Very Nice Example of Authentic Early Americana.
NOTE! --- That it Contains No Oil or Oil Residue. The Tank is Completely Empty, Clean & Dry.
The Lamp Itself Measures Overall Approx ( Chain Hanger Not Included ) Measures 9 inches Tall.
It is 4 1/8 inches Wide - Long at Base.
PLEASE NOTE If you purchase multiple items from my shop, I will combine shipping whenever possible!
