Question

lamp 001
Hi Rex...I purchased this lamp from ebay. I was wondering if there was anyway to tell the maker. I saw one with a similar base that was a B & H...The chimney didn't come with it. Thanks...Linda

Answer
Hi, this lamp is old except for the screw in burner and the chimney. It could be Bradley and Hubbard, but there were many kerosene lamp cos. back then. B&H usually marked their's under the base. Some cos. marked their's on the burner which on this lamp is not the original one. The lamp is nice and in good condition.

Thanks

Rex Ransome
