Antique Sandwich Glass Whale Oil Lamp Heart Pattern Very Likely Original 1840s
These heart pattern whale oil lamps have been reproduced a lot but I believe this is an original, used with whale oil before kerosene came along in the 1850s. This is an estate find, the gentleman that passed was an antique collector and collected mostly oil lamps. There are clues to this lamp being an old original whale oil lamp from early to mid 1800s.
The foot/base shows a lot of wear, shelf wear over many years. This lamp has manganese in the glass (turns green under a black light) in the early years of glass making glass companies added manganese to glass to make clear glass clearer. The collar (metal top that the burner screws into) has really old brown glue. This is a really nice old whale oil lamp, if left out in the sun all summer it would turn sun purple. This lamp will be packaged with care.
