An unusually small kerosene lamp, probably intended for use on a train. I have been unable to establish its age or origin.
The lamp is suspended in a bracket on two pivot points, allowing it to swing within the bracket. The clear, round glass is protected by metal rods, and a round cap supported on small legs sits above it. Inside is a brass wick holder with a perforated cap and a star-marked adjustment wheel. The lamp assembly fits over a round black fuel tank. I have sealed the tank with a fuel tank sealer.
The black paint has partly worn away. The assembly sits on a grey metal stand. The lamp is in working order.
