Miniature Glass Kerosene Lamps in Varying Colors - A group of three miniature pressed glass oil lamps, also referred to as night or finger lamps. The collection includes one lamp with a ruby red glass base featuring a molded grapes and leaves pattern on a circular footed base, fitted with a clear glass chimney with a flared, scalloped top rim. The second lamp features a square green glass base with vertical paneled ribbing and a matching green glass chimney with a bulbous midsection. The third lamp consists of a clear glass base with a concentric ring pattern and a light blue glass chimney with a ruffled top rim. All three lamps are constructed from molded glass and include metal burner assemblies with thumbwheels. The bases have smooth, finished bottoms consistent with molded production. These lamps are typical of American glass production from the late 19th through the mid-20th century, similar to those produced by companies such as L.G. Wright, Smith, or Eagle.
