Oil lamp making me crazy

    I have this oil lamp. I cannot for the life of me identify the maker. I have pictures of the top which dates the patent at 1883 (newest) but I have not been able to find any lamp that even comes close to looking like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 20180713_192652_Film4.jpg 20180713_192716_Film4.jpg 20180713_192754_Film4.jpg

    Your lamp was made by Riverside Glass Co. Or possibly by Riverside when they were part of the National Combine. I do not believe that it was part of a table pattern, or had a name. Thuro may have given it a name, if it is in one of her books. Too late check tonight. Will try to look in the morning.

    PS It is pictured in a National catalogue reprint.

    PSS the factory # was 406. Same number used for all sizes. I recall about 6 sizes, including finger lamps. Good night

    A copy of the catalogue page is in the Riverside book. If you don't have that you will not find it. I looked thru Thuro's books and did not see it referenced. Of course, I may have missed it.

    At any rate, I'm glad I could help and you are welcome.
