Some think if they can ID the burner they have also ID the lamp maker. I have found that after several years of replying to oil lamp queries on different websites forums, it saves me a lot of time to include that info in the beginning of my replies.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>My, I would have loved to see your great grandmother's collection. I inherited a couple of lamps from my grandmother with one being a "skater's lamp." She used it herself ice skating and walking to church on Sunday evenings in the early 1880s.
