Rare Antique Pigeon Pocket Oil Lamp – Model 60, Complete and Functional, Circa 1918–1930
Rare Pigeon pocket oil lamp (also known as Lampe de poche). Featured in a 1918 catalog as Model 60, this tiny travel lamp was designed for portability. When the cap is screwed on, the lamp is oil-tight — tested by filling it with kerosene for a full day without leakage.
Complete, functional, in nice condition, with the original cotton wadding inside to absorb oil, as in larger Pigeon lamps. Shows light signs of age.
