Hanging Oil Lamps |

Hanging oil lamps hang from the ceiling as do chandeliers and other types of hanging lamps. Generally larger lamps. Many of these lamps are in opalescent vaseline glass. |
Miniature Oil Lamps |
|
|
Miniature oil lamps, as the name implies, are small lamps ranging from about 6 to 12 inches tall, including the font (base, or oil reservoir) and shade. Most date from around the turn of the century. Miniature oil lamps run the range of colored translucent or opaque, or white milk glass. Some are opalescent vaseline, jade or uranium glass of various colors. |
Electric Lamps |
|
|
All of the electric lamps listed for sale are from the early 20th century to the mid 20th century. Some are very early lamps, dating from 1910 or so onward. Most of my electric lamps are made in either vaseline glass or some other color of uranium glass. |
Gift Lamps |
|
|
Gift lamps are old lamps that are not so highly collectible and would therefore not be a tragedy if broken. They may be true antiques or vintage, but they are suitable for daily use. They may be free standing table lamps, hanging lamps, oil or electric. |
