Title: Similar to coin dot but so different trying to find info.
Post by: heroldglass on May 21, 2007, 03:30:58 AM

I just purchased a lamp. It is in phot'os as an elect lamp because it was converted but we are convering it back to the oil lamp we believe it started life as. I'm sure the globe is not og to the lamp and it is to go but photo's were snapped with it on. The lamp not including globe stands about 17 1/2 inches tall. It has a marble base and I am not sure of the content of the metal on the lamp. If anyone has any information on this pattern or sut please let me know, I have several glass books but haven't found it yet. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/furbabysophie/IMG_1982.jpg (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y107/furbabysophie/IMG_1982.jpg)

I'm not sure how to post photo's here so I am going to give it a shot.

This appears to be as you suggest, a converted oil lamp.
I'm not sure where you are located, but my hunch would be probably French, but with imported Bohemian cut-to-clear glass in the stem and the reservoir. Companies such as Markhbeinn (Paris) are known to have imported similar styles of reservoir in the 1920s. This may be earlier than that.
