Pair of Vaseline glass kerosene lamps
« on: March 04, 2016, 06:05:19 PM »
Hi everyone, 
I bought a pair of Vaseline glass kerosene lamps in excellent condition.  So good in fact I suspect they are reproductions or new manufacture.  To date, I've been unable to find any information on them.  Who made them?  Year?  Here is a picture of one of them.

B. P. Lamp Supply, McMinnville, TN (USA) has this shape in their current catalog online (look for 'oil lamps" to find it). The decoration is likely a decal. I'd suspect Mosser Glass, Cambridge, OH (USA) as the maker, as they are able to make the topaz color.
