Angle Lamp Photos & Company Claims

Here are the photos of some Angle Lamps that were in a catalogue reprinted by the Historical Lighting Society of Canada. Quoting from publicity: " The Angle Lamp gets its name from the "angle" at which the flame burns. It is the lamp's most effective feature. For the Angle throws light downward where it is needed. It gives splendid, even, general illumination. But the best light is distributed where it is most useful. Next notice that this flame projects from the side of the lamp. This eliminates the shadow thrown by the burner and fount of ordinary lamps. From the Angle Lamp you get direct shadowless light, pleasant general illumination, perfect reading light: the combine effects of a chandelier and table light from the one fixture. There is but one lighting method giving this double effect--The Angle Lamp. It is the only light in the world whose flame burns at an angle at the side of the fixture." These lamps were popular in the early 1900's. RER (BOB) LOUMANAL
