LAMPS AND LANTERNS

Unknown Lamp – ‘Code AA-2025’

This lamp has no markings, and we don’t know who made it. The lamp lacks a shade, a burner tube and burner cap (3rd image from top), and likely had a cap on the Schrader valve (bottom image). The lamp has a number of unusual parts suggestive of the early 1920s including a donut-shaped mixing chamber casting that surrounds the generator. The lamp appears to be match lighting. Loren Abernathy, whose collection this lamp is in, bought it in an online auction from Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, in 2003. Please contact us if you think you can identify the manufacturer of this lamp.

Unknown Lamp – ‘Code BB-2025’

This 16” tall lamp has no markings and a distinctive ‘Pear’ shaped fount that is 5” tall. Loren Abernathy, whose collection this lamp is in, measured the fitter diameter at 2 3/8”. The lamp has been operated recently with a non-original shade. Please contact Terry Marsh Lantern Gallery if you think you can identify the manufacturer of this lamp.

Unknown Lamp – ‘Code CC-2025’

This 26½” tall lamp with no markings is in Loren Abernathy’s collection and has a pear-shaped fount 8½” wide and 5½” tall. The lamp appears to be torch lighting. Fuel is pressurized in the fount and rises to enter the lower horizontal tube when the valve is opened.

The fuel passes through the end with the “U-shaped” casting and back across in upper horizontal tube carrying a fuel-air mix that came from the orifice in the lower tube. The upper tube ends in the casting that also helps support the two horizontal tubes. The casting carries the fuel-air mix to the burner tube and then to the mantle. The purpose of the small metal bracket (ring) about 4” below the burner cover is not known.
