Clear Pressed Glass Kerosene Oil Table Lamp with Beaded Chimney Rim - This kerosene table lamp is constructed from clear pressed glass, featuring a circular stepped base and a bulbous font connected by a waisted stem. The lamp is fitted with a metal burner assembly that includes four vertical prongs to secure the chimney and a circular thumbwheel for adjusting the flat cotton wick. The clear glass chimney has a bulbous lower section and a flared top rim decorated with a beaded or pie-crust edge. A circular metal thumbwheel on the burner assembly bears raised characters that are obscured by heavy corrosion and are not legible. No other maker marks, patent dates, or country of origin marks are visible on the glass or metal components. Dimensions are derived from the photograph featuring a tape measure. Height: 17.75 inches to the top of the chimney.
