Circa 1880's kerosene oil Plume & Atwood Harvard student lamp. This particular model is probably the most popular Harvard ever produced; it is by far the rarest form and most ornate. It includes all of the Harvard student lamps' signature and fanciful mythological creatures, every inch of the lamp is covered with intricate and detailed castings. The addition of the elaborate cast "necklace" or "yoke" handle and tall ornate cast base make this model the most elaborate and desirable of all the Harvards. Unfortunately, it has been drilled and electrified.
I found it on the internet for only $100, but it was badly damaged in shipping and was not polished. I also had to find the correct burners and repair everything. This was the result.
Beautiful lamp and the shades?
Sorry, no shades as of yet. Still looking. It needs something spectacular!
I agree. I have been waiting to find one...some day. Great find.
I know! I have the "student lamp book" and, basically, it is like the holy grail of student lamps. Never thought I would find one.
Just wondering....Did you find the perfect shades yet? Still love the lamp.
