This is a
PRIMITIVE, OIL- FIRED, TIN HURRICANE LAMP on a tall tin stand with an overall heighth of 16" (with glass globe).
It has a brass fuel tank cap with engraved dates: "PAT. NOV.24.1857 EXTENDED NOV.24.1871"
The burner assembly is of detailed, exquisite brass with the four brass clips to support the glass globe.
I have been buying and selling hurricane lamps for 30 years and have never seen one like this. This is a VERY OLD LAMP!
Please see the photos for a better idea of its condition.
