<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 234303, member: 44&quot;]I meant to add in my previous reply that the thumb-wheel, wick-winder knobs, design may be identified to the maker of the burners. Nowwww in common oil lamps, the burners were were usually replaced a time or 2 through the life of the lamp and really should not be considered in determining age of the lamp or maker. Also most common burners were made by burner companies that didn&#039;t make lamps; however, some lamp companies **did** also make burners that fitted only their lamps.&nbsp; I am woefully ignorant on foreign (not American) oil lamp makers and burners. Following is a link to a website IDing &quot;foreign&quot; (French, German, Austria) oil lamp thumbwheels. You might be able to ID one of the burners on your lamps. This is another website that isn&#039;t active anymore.
