<p>[QUOTE="Iowa Jayhawk, post: 4129288, member: 4011"]"Gone with the Wind" is the generic name for the style. Like others said, the finished product is a collection of parts from different places. Climax made burners, and the 232 you see is a casting number from the foundry that made the base. Without a name on the base, it is hard to pin down where it came from as many locations produced them. It is also very hard to determine the final maker, as there are many of these out there.</p><p>The burner (or wick holder as you call it) was patented in 1890. I'm guessing this lamp is from about 1900.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
