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. Lamp measures 10-1/4 inches tall overall with a 4-1/2 inch diameter clear glass fluid storage section.

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