c.1890 Antique Victorian Brass Oil / Kerosene Lamp, elephant legs. This baby was polished on 1/20/2026 and it was not lacquered. Handle to handle, it is 11 1/2 inches; it stands about 20 inches tall. I have yet to find a suitable globe for it... its not high on my "to-do list". I do not know the difference, by sight, between an oil lamp and a kerosene one. Perhaps it is the wick thickness? I looks like it has its original wick, whatever the fuel.
