Victorian Oil Lamp E. Miller 1870s/80s

This Victorian Oil Lamp was manufactured by Edward Miller in the USA, some time in the late 1800s. It bears two patented dates. March 14th, 1871 and July 23rd, 1872. It has a Miller cast iron base numbered 161 as well as a burner bearing his name.

In the top of its elegant glass fuel tank is a long hair line cracks but it is still very usable as long as the tank is not filled to its very top. My first thought was to throw it away because of this flaw but it is still a very delightful lamp which has come through the last 150 years quite well. It stands 12 inches tall, it tank has a 5 inch top diameter that tapers down to a bottom diameter of 3.5 inches.

It's cast iron triangular Victorian base measures 6.5 inches on each side. A wonderful piece of oil lamp history that was closed to being condemned to the landfill!!
