<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 48919, member: 44&quot;]Lovely font! This font could have been a bracket type. The type of bracket that was only a ring, not the cup type. like the following:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12264[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>or in a hanging hall lamp like...</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]12265[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>It is hard for me to think that this lovely font was made to sit down inside of anything. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not all that sure that Sherwood made the whole lamp. They probably made only the burner. Most of their burners were supplied to other lamp companies. Also this burner may not be original to this lamp. Oil lamps with smaller less complex burners should never be judged, dated, by the burner because it was common to change/replace burners periodically. Now with bigger more complex burners this didn&#039;t happen so often. Most complex central draft burners, this isn&#039;t one, were only compatible with that company&#039;s fonts because of the central air vent tube through the fonts.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, this is a duplex burner, 2 parallel wicks with 2 individual wick adjusters and a extinguisher lever on the opposite side.</p><p><a href="http://www.oldcopper.org/lamp_burners.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.oldcopper.org/lamp_burners.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldcopper.org/lamp_burners.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://www.base-camp.co.uk/Burners/duplex.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.base-camp.co.uk/Burners/duplex.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.base-camp.co.uk/Burners/duplex.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s a little history on Sherwood.</p><p><a href="http://www.oldcopper.org/sherwoods.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.oldcopper.org/sherwoods.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldcopper.org/sherwoods.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
