<p>[QUOTE="emre can esenalp, post: 30982, member: 364"]Sorry for bothering, probably its a little bit late to say this but I'm new here <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[ATTACH=full]7826[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]7827[/ATTACH] . The burner is not related with the origin of the lamp. This is a German production oil lamp somewhere between 1900-1915. It looks similar to Kretchmar Lamps. I could not find the exact match of font and base from the catalog of 1907. But it looks like so. There is a small possibility that it could be an Opitz lamp. Both factories were in Germany, and they used bohemian fonts, harrach fonts and ungarn glass fonts. And these lamps were designed for vesta shades (alaaddin shades). so its very difficult to find a matching tulipe shade for the font.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
