This is a beautiful antique Gone with the wind Kerosene oil lamp that is in very good condition. Notice the gold highlights with a floral theme on the opal ware, and the base is decorated with two cupids on opposite sides of the base as well. Good original condition. The only marking that I can find on this lamp is located on the knob for adjusting the wick and it reads, ‘M.B. Co. NY Pat. Apl. 30. 83’. The lamp is complete with, glass chimney, opal ware globe, fancy brass burner with rim, and opal ware base. We were able to acquire this lamp from the Bea Fray estate auction of Moberly, Missouri. The base measures 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″, top globe is 8″ diameter at the widest point, and at the top opening is 3″ diameter. When assembled this lamp stands 18″ high to the top of the glass chimney. Nice scrolling designs in the opal ware moldings of this lamp. This is a lamp that you will not want to miss adding to your own personal collection.
