I bought this at a garage sale for $15.00! Wondering how old it is and where it came from.....the lady told me it was her grandmothers and the lady was in her 70's! Please can anyone tell me about this oil lamp and whether or not it was a steal of a deal!

Not fake! From the late 1800's to the early 1900's and called "Quartered Block". Maker unknown but there are a lot of them around and in different sizes. Glass Quality is excellent. The white flame burner does not date the lamp. RER

There are a few for sale online and one seller claims it was made in 1903 by Duncan Miller Glass co. RER
