<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 12421, member: 44"]"Primrose" as Mary suggested seems to be the closest pattern to this vaseline opalescent oil lamp. I just checked Thuro's 3 oil lamp books and the "Primrose" pattern in OL 1, p. 268, is the closest in pattern I could spot. The lamp in the book is not like this one, it is all glass and not vaseline glass. Like someone suggested we really need to a good picture of the collar to help determine age and possibly maker. Found other Primrose glass fonts online and many of them have a clinch-on collar. I suspect this one has a clinch collar also. Also the thumbwheel writing/design needs to me seen. This lamp appears to have a center draft burner. Right now I'd probably date this lamp 1880-1900, but without seeing the collar, etc... this is still a quess.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
