Once again picked up something I thought was neat but have no idea. TS lady said some lady has been bringing in her old stuff which she showed me but would not sell till she looked it up. Did sell me two oil lamps first I have discovered to be a Brass oil lamp from the 1800 (?). This one I have searched and so many different type pop up. This one is 9 inches tall. Footing is 6 sided. Some bubble in the glass. Hope you experts can help or guide me to the right place to research. Have not found any markings on it. Don't know why the picture turned side ways.

Nice vintage kerosene lamp. Probably 1930s I would think. Look for a name on the brass burner.
They made millions of these back in the day, and most of the unmarked ones I see at auction go for 10-30 bucks.
