    Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew any information about this? I'm not sure what it is even. I know it was made by the General Gas Light Co Kalamazoo Mich but I can't find anything else like it. Any information or an idea of value would be greatly appreciated. It's pretty cool to look at if nothing else. Thanks.

    Alfred Humphrey founded the General Gas Light Company in 1901 and sold inverted arc gaslights. By 1917, it was estimated that the company sold more than 1.5 million inverted arc gaslights and sales surpassed $1 million.

    company founder Alfred Humphrey and his brothers Charles, Frederick and Herbert (H.S.) Humphrey. The men were entrepreneurs, inventors and tinkerers

    Maybe this item never saw the LIGHT of day commercially..???
