Description
A collection of kerosene lamps in various styles and sizes, constructed from clear glass, tinted glass, and brass-tone metal. The assortment includes two miniature clear glass lamps with molded swirled or ribbed patterns, one on a low-profile reservoir and the other on a pedestal base. Also included is a larger pedestal lamp made of light lavender-tinted glass, likely indicating the presence of manganese used in glass production during the late 19th to early 20th centuries. The fourth item is a brass-tone metal finger lamp characterized by a wide, low-profile reservoir and a small loop handle for carrying. Each lamp is equipped with a metal burner mechanism featuring a manual wick adjuster knob. The burners are paired with clear glass chimneys of varying bulbous and straight-sided profiles. No legible manufacturer marks or patent dates are visible on the metal components or glass bodies.
