    Cleaning out a closet at my Mom's and found these lamps. She is no longer with us, so any information would be appreciated about these lamps.

      What name is on or under the burner, including on the knob that adjusts the wick?

      There are sone great collectors books on antique oil lamps so you could definitely look them up. See the reference librarian at a good public library; can also search on WorldCat. Good luck!

      Thanks for the comments. Have not replied due to computer issues. I have not been able to find a name on the lamp or knob. It seems to have had a rather "rough" life on the knob, very tarnished. Will research the uranium depression oil lamps. Thanks.
