This offering features a rare, matched pair of Fostoria Glass Co. No. 17 Kerosene Banquet Lamps, dating to the first quarter of the 20th century. These "peg" style lamps showcase an elegant eight-panel design across the font, standard, and foot, unified by a baluster-form stem.
The lamps are fitted with period No. 3 Duplex slip burners; one is a documented Manhattan Brass Co. (New York) example. The burners feature a nickel-plate finish, adding a bright, clean aesthetic to the colorless glass. They are crowned with matching colorless, frosted-finish ball shades featuring deeply embossed, stylized five-point starfish motifs.
**For safety, this pair will be professionally packed and shipped in three separate boxes. Shipping costs include full insurance and premium materials**

Burners: Undamaged; however, the metal connectors are currently frozen (typical for age) and may require gentle cleaning/oil to restore full movement. Shades: Minor "as-made" roughness and tiny flakes at the fitter rims, which are concealed when seated in the shade rings. less
