Description: Estate Fresh! A group of (7) Early American lighting devices of various shapes and sizes. Constructed of tin and wrought iron; most with hangers/picks, etc, as shown.

Mostly Betty or Crusie-type grease or oil lamps. There’s also a hogscraper and a twisted iron candlestick holder.

Ages vary. The wrought iron holder is a later reproduction; the rest appear to be late-18th & 19thC.

Evaluating antique lighting is well beyond the scope of my expertise. The photos are probably the best description.


Condition: As found. Condition varies per piece but generally Fair to Good+ with honest wear, oxidation, soiling, etc., as shown. They have not been cleaned.

Please note: One tin Betty Lamp is missing a lid/cover. The hogscraper had a small loss on the rim. Candle wax residue on both holders.

See photos for complete details, close-ups and valuation. Please consider them as part of the description.

Sizes vary. Some overall heights; Twisted Holder: 11-3/8”H, Hogscraper: 7-1/8”H and tallest Betty: 6-3/4”H.


Payment & Shipping: Offered without reserve. Ships professionally packed and fully insured to the highest bidder, anywhere in the lower 48.
