    I just recently came across this lamp. These are pictures taken before I worked on restoring the silver plated burner area. I was wondering if anyone may have any information on the year, and manufacture of this lamp.

      I hope a collector out there may have some information on this lamp.

      I believe you will find that this is not a lamp but a vaporizador. In the USA they sold under the brand name vapo-cresolene. They were sold from mid 1800's until well into the 1900's. At that point they were declared one of the first forms of quack medicine and outlawed in the USA. Your dimension fits perfectly.

      Also the chimney on this item fits the item to a tee.
