Clear flint glass oil font tank has an EAPG pattern of X's and O's or thumbprints. Column like footed section is white milk glass with a blackberry and leaf pressed decor on the corners. Foot is tightly joined to upper fluid tank by a crimped brass clinch coupling and cement. Clinch coupling is marked Pat May 24, 1870.

This lamp was manufactured shortly after 1870 and was marketed by Hobbs Brockunier.
