    Hello! I found this small lantern on our farm yesterday. It stands approx. 3 1/2 inches tall with the cap on. On the base it says " Avora 2/3 oz. USA". I have very little knowledge in this area and looking for a bit of history to hand down about the lamp. Thank you for any help you can give me.

      Hi! Your Miniature lamp was advertized in a 1894 catalogue and sold by C.M. Livingston's Silent salesman 207-209 Madison Street, Chicago, Il. It was their model #1420 and came in pink, green and ruby tints (flashing) with beaded gold panels and band. It came with an acorn burner and glass chimney. They were sold 1 doz. boxed in an assortment of colors. C.M.Livingston were the distributors and there is no mention on who made it. It could also be used as a Salt & pepper shaker. RER (BOB)

      Thank you so much! Lamp found buried deep on top of an old cupboard. Was high on top of a ladder looking down and spotted it. Had small specks of Ruby coloring to it.
