Featured Oil lamp for identification.. Please

Hi all, hope someone can lead me in the right direction.
This heavy lamp burner marked M. B. N Y But I don't think they made the lamp?
Looks like painted glass with cast Iron base. and if it wasn't heavy enough it's weighted?
Stands 14" tall to top of burner. base is 9 1/4" tall.

@Iowa Jayhawk knows about oil lamps. Maybe he can help.

 

M.B. --> Manhattan Brass

 

Thanks @sabre123 . I'm not finding similar lamps?

 

They did manufacture lamps, but in this case, may have just made the font / burner assembly. be odd for them to do something with glass.

 

The maker is difficult to determine. I would classify it as a Vase lamp, circa 1890. The burner should pull out to reveal an oil container, and would have had a matching shade.

 

I was trying to find at least that base or something similar with no luck. I think they are Cranes?

 

It is extremely difficult to assign a manufacturer to the base...Many, many companies made the bases, and in fact, the maker of the base is probably different than the maker of the glass portion as well. I would guess somewhere around 1900. Glass is not in the greatest shape with lots of scratches and such. I would say that someone could probably sell it for $100 maybe, and that is mainly for the burner, and to a lesser degree the cast iron base. A person into restoration could do something with that.

 

Thank you very much @Iowa Jayhawk . I got it for $15.

 

Hello, is it possible that the burners were marked for the lamp type? Like this particular burner was made for the arctic that was electrified. ? I did find one that is marked Arctic 3. Just curious.

 

$15 is pretty good. I have sold a number somewhat like that for anywhere from $70 and up. My bet is the base has a foundry maker shown underneath that base plate.

 

The only thing I found under the plate was the number 12
