    Found this lamp at a recent estate sale. It is very heavy appears to be brass or bronze. There is a makers mark on the bottom which looks like a diamond with a C inside. There is a copyright date of 1862 on the wick handle. I've tried to find one like it on line but haven't been able to find anything similar. Does anyone know who made this type of lamp and what the value would be?
