<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 186284, member: 44&quot;]Still haven&#039;t found the K &amp; G burner manufacturer; however, can give info on the burner. This burner is a Kosmos type burner that was developed by Wild &amp; Wessel of Berlin in 1865. These burners used a flat wick formed into a round. Instead of a central air shaft through the font, they had a side draft. This made them easier and cheaper to make then central draft burner lamps. Nowww as this is not a central draft lamp, then the maker of burner was not necessarily the maker of the lamp. By the turn of the century many many companies were making Kosmos burners. These burners are still being made today. This is all the info I have for you. I am woefully ignorant of European lamps and burners. BTW, that round disk on the top of the burner is a flame spreader.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a couple of sites with info on this type of burner:</p><p><a href="http://www.milesstair.com/KOSMOS-BRENNER_LAMPS_&amp;_WICKS.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.milesstair.com/KOSMOS-BRENNER_LAMPS_&amp;_WICKS.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.milesstair.com/KOSMOS-BRENNER_LAMPS_&amp;_WICKS.html</a></p><p><a href="http://lampguild.org/QandApage/archives/Q0004405.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://lampguild.org/QandApage/archives/Q0004405.php" rel="nofollow">http://lampguild.org/QandApage/archives/Q0004405.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
