OK PEOPLE EDUCATE ME ON THIS! I WAS GIVEN THIS LAMP BY A GENTLEMAN IN HIS 80'S TO SALE FOR HIM. I WAS TOLD AT ONE POINT IT WAS A KEROSENE LAMP AND IT COULD BE CONVERTED BACK TO KEROSENE. I TOOK THE LAMP ALL APART AND IT DOES HAVE A RESERVOIR FOR KEROSENE/OIL HOWEVER THE THUMB WHEEL IS MISSING. THE LAMP MEASURES 13 1/2" TALL. THE RED GLOBE IS BEAUTIFUL AND MEASURES 7" TALL AND 6" WIDE AND TAPERS AT THE WITH SCALLOPS. THERE IS NO BREAKAGE NOTED HOWEVER THE BOTTOM HAVE SHADES HAS LITTLE BITE MARKS OUT OF IT. THE WIRING FOR LAMP IS INTACT AND THE LAMP DOES WORK. THERE ARE MARKINGS ON THE LAMP: IT HAS PAT. APR.11.93.SEPT.9.90.APR.80.95 AND THE LETTER R AND L. THERE ARE A FEW SMALL DENTS TO THE BASE, I THINK THIS IS MADE OF BRASS, IT WILL HOLD A CHIMNEY ALSO BUT DID NOT COME WITH ONE. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION OR HAVE INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH ME ON THIS ONE PLEASE FEEL FREE TO DO SO. THANKS.

ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD AS IS! I GIVE DETAILED INFORMATION PLUS PICTURES, HOWEVER; IF YOU FEEL THE ITEM TO BE GROSSLY MISREPRESENTED THEN PLEASE CONTACT ME TO RESOLVE ANY ISSUES. ALL ITEMS ARE INSURED WHEN SHIPPED AND INSURANCE IS ADDED TO SHIPPING COST. THANKS
