This is a very heavy Kerosene lamp that was rewired to make a lamp. I see no markings and am not sure what type of metal it is or finish on top? Appreciate any words of wisdom. Thanks Gail

The Metal is SPELTER (white Metal) with a brass collar and double wick burner that is not native to this lamp. These large burners were mostly used on large tin barn lamps and were made by plume & Atwood of Waterbury, Conn. In it's original days, it would have had a Galllery Type Burner that would have held a fancy Glass Ball or other shaped & etched Shade. The lamp is possibly made by Bradley & Hubbard.....I will look it up in my reference books and get back to you if I find it. RER (BOB)
Thank you Bob so much for this information. Do you knows it from the late 1800's or early 1900's?
Yes, from late 1880's to early 1900's. RER (BOB)
