Well, I can't say much about it but may be able to tell you how to come up with the approximate age. Take the chimney off and you may have to unscrew the wick holder and remove it. The metal parts should be marked. Researching the name, symbol etc. will date the company that made the wick holder only, not the entire lamp. Once you establish that the hard part comes. You need to find who during that era the hardware company supplied parts to. Seldom were the lamps and hardware made by the same company but that isn't unheard of either. It is time consuming but can be done. Good Luck.
Matt. This is an L. E. Smith Heritage oil lamp! I have the same exact one with the original sticker and box. These are very difficult to find. I suggest pulling an old LE catalog for further info.
