I'm just curious if anyone can tell me anything about this lamp? I found it in my fathers house after he passed away. The glass is broken, but I have never seen a lamp like this before. It has 2 wick ports and is about 20 inches high not counting the handle.
The only marking is the little "Bhan Sherwood" marking on the wick dial. Does anyone else have any information? We have not decided if we are keeping it yet or not.
This is an English kerosene lamp made in Birmingham. Here you have the company info: https://www.oldcopper.org/makers/sherwoods.php
It is a fine old lamp, nice find.
mcheconi, Thanks!!
I guess it was made between 1904 and 1920. After 1920, the company became Sherwood-Linley. It is made of brass.
