    This is one of two oil lamps I inherited with my china cabinet full of antiques. I have no idea who the maker is, what the pattern name is or how old it is. I do know, it's been in my family since it was purchased new.
    Seems to me I remember my Mom telling me that either my Grandparents or Great Grandparents actually used this lamp for light in their home. Thing is, this information was never written down and due to the lack of documentation I have no idea if I am remembering correctly.
    Again, I have to ask the Collectors on this site for help in identifying this oil lamp for me. Knowing the maker, pattern and age of this piece will not only help in my attempts to put together a history for my child to inherit, but would also verify if I am remembering correctly that infact this was used by my ancestors.
    Thank you in advance all you amazing Collectors on this site for any help or information you might be able to provide.
