Spare Rich Cut English Crystal Duplex Oil Lamp Font Hinks Silver Plated Fittings
The fount measures 6&1/2 inches (16 cms) diameter and just over 5 inches (13 cms) high including the silver plated fittings. There are NO cracks, including none hiding under the collar. There are No chips, there are several very small bubbles , as usual in old crystal, but none are prominent or burst. There are a couple of scratches around the undermount right at the bottom of the font where it doesnt show when fitted to a lamp base. Heavy, deep cutting, evenly done as you'd expect of a proper craftsman. The burner collar has the usual bayonet fixing, is not marked, and has the extra strong rivetted on lugs. Silver plating is a little worn in places but still attractive. The undermount is the usual solid cast brass Hinks model, some plating wear. For reference the external diameter of the threads is 21.5mm, the standard Hinks size. Probably dates from the mid 1880s as it had an earlier model, silver plated burner on it originally.
