Message:: [QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 135179, member: 44"]I had hoped one of the glass folks could have ID'ed this pattern. Like Jen... I also have looked through all my lamp books (all 3 of Thuro's) and catalogs with no luck spotting this lamp. I do agree with Clutter... in dating it to early 1900s because it seems to have an Ebling collar. Thuro's Oil Lamps, p. 40, says about these collars: "... third one (c), without date or design were common to 1910 and probably later. These are described in an advertisement by Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton Co. of Findlay, Ohio, as 'Patent, Improved, Shrunk-on Collars' and claimed "No Plaster, No Cement, No Leaky Lamps, No Weak Lamps, No Complaints.' In Findlay Pattern Glass, by Don Smith, this collar is said to have been patented by Philip Ebling of the Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton company, Findlay, Ohio, and first used in May 1894." As to the burner, that certainly is different - weird. The bottom half of it appears to be a 6 prong burner and the top half seems to have a cylinder holder for a circular wick like a type of a central draft burner, but that font is not for a central draft lamp. I'm not sure what kind of burner it is, but like Jen... it could be German??? It might help to ID the burner better if there was a close-up pic of just the burner. Are there any markings on the thumbwheel / wick winder? --- Susan[/QUOTE]
