   Description of Item

Stunning Antique 1800's Pedestal Table Top 21" Tall Kerosene Oil Lamp

Sadly the pictures will not do the item justice.

You need to be up front and personal to appreciate it.   I had planned on keeping this in my home after my move but I have been in every room here and not finding a home for it.  Now for someone else to enjoy it.

It was one of those that I was going to keep for myself but lack of room prevents this.

I am going to say this again and i am not saying this because I am selling this lamp....  IT IS A STUNNING LAMP in my view.   It has that Antique & Aged Charisma that new items do not hold a tune to. I love these lamps.    I was a major collector of rarer Pedestal Kerosene Oil & Coal Oil lamps.   IN making a choice as an empty nester going into a smaller home,  I donated a lot of them to speciality charity auctions knowing at one time I was going to downsize.  I offered my family to take their choice and my son to pick those he wanted for his home,   

I want to keep this but in this house I can only keep so many and they were made to be used and admired. 

Oh I want to say this as make sure you read the last paragraph as this item is going to be listed on other sites for the same price or higher as here.

Antique  Socony #2 Burner & Perhaps the Original One ?

Details on the items

LAMP BASE & OIL FONT   

Very Good Condition.  Appears to have original nut on bottom base.   The base is metal and probably has been painted at some point in its life.   The darker what I will call maroon color with a shade of dark pink glass pedestal has small white swirls in the pattern (no those white swirls are not imperfections or chips or wear and are within the glass itself)  Oil Font is very nice but has some slight dried residue in the bottom which is very common with lamps that have set.  An easy clean fo the new buyer overall or so I feel.

THE BURNER

It has a Secony #2 with raised embossed letter for its name.  It has no work but turns like it should.   Air inlet cover (the thing that covers around the wick) works like it should.   I am thinking but not 100% that this may well be the original burner for this lamp?

CHIMNEY 

It is of older glass and I explained the makers flaw in it so see below on that comment.

Includes old chimney that has makers flaws.  OK Do not run away with that comment.  Maker flaws are usually cool looking this when the old time glass was made.   In fact more times than not maker flaws increase the value of the item because you do not normally find them in modern day glass making processes.  This ones makers flaw is if you turn the chimney you may see a slight ripples in the chimney especially toward the top.  Not adverse but there.  Old double ribbed ornate pattern on the top.

This is heavy glass and may need a bit more cleaning.  I find nothing wrong with the chimney and appears well taken care of.

THE FROSTED GLASS SHADE

THIS IS A RELATIVELY RARE PATTERN.  MANY TOLD TIMER SHADE HAD FROSTED GLASS AND THE MORE SOLID UN-RAISED PATTERN ON THIS AND THIS WAS BECAUSE THEY WERE EASIER TO MAKE IN THE OLDEN DAYS OF YESTERYEAR.

THE PATTERN ON THIS SHADE ARE EMBOSSED (RAISED) AND A VERY ORNATE PATTERN AT THAT.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE TOP RIM OF SHADE YOU WILL NOTICE A CURVED PATTERN THEN IT GOES TO A PEAK AND REPEATS ITSELF.  THIS TO IS A BIT UNUSUAL AS MOST WERE ALL JUST A CURVED PATTERN.   THIS SHADE IS A BIT ON THE FRAGILE SIDE. 

On the upper top rim there are a very limited few flicks however it is hard to say if those are from use of the lamp or came with the shade went they broke the shade out of the mold. These flicks would happen quite often if they took the bottom out of the mold first and the top out secondly.   I would guess that they are about a #2 pencil semi sharp pencil lead thickness in size so they tiny and I had to look hard to see them.   They are not adverse in my view in the least.

The bottom rim of the shade which is hidden in the burner lamp shade assembly when on it,  has a couple of chips and maybe a couple of flicks or so.  I would say they are hidden when on.  Remember this lamp is over 100 plus years old and more than likely every time the lamp was cleaned or dusted it was taken off and cleaned these are very normal to be found o that area of the shade.  My self in these being so hard too find anymore I would not give it a second thought as they can not really be seen.

I am guessing at a speciality lamp show I could get around $150.00 or more so just for the shade itself being what it is and in my view on the rare side. This is not even including the lamp & oil font,  the burner which would not be cheap if sold separately with the built in shade holder plus the older chimney.   

I may be able to part this out and make more then I am asking but this lamp has been in my family since forever,  perhaps since new,  and I think it should be kept together.    So it is looking for a really good home.

In my view this is in very good to excellent condition especially for its age

I am only going to ship this via Priority mail.  IN addition more than likely I will ship the frosted shade in its own separate box.  I will see how things work out on that.  With that said this is an old timer and relatively heavily made lamp compared to some others out there so shipping may run a bit more than you realize and not much I can do about that as it now depends on all sorts of things like how far away you are,  what delivery zone your are in from me,  the size and weight of the items and so on.   You do not want to receive it broke so it is what it is.

My Normal Disclaimer 

For items I classify as old.Item(s) may have a degree of aging, wear,  yellowing, use 

perhaps a nick or chip or so If nothing more than for the reason they are old.  

They are a part of the items history and backs up it is in fact old and not a reproduction overall.

The degree will vary from item to item and depends on use and treatment of the item over the years

Use your judgement from there.

Selling of Items On Multi-Sites

Items Subject to Prior Sale 

I reserve the right to list any item listed on this site on other selling platforms / seller sites.   In doing this there is the very very very rare remote chance an item may sell on more than one site the same day.  Though rare it COULD happen. If this happens it will be the Buyer that is First Buyer [Determined by the Earliest Sale Based on the Day of Sale and Time of Sale] The Secondary "too late" [thus non-winning not ending up with the item] Buyer will be notified of this and refunded in full without any contradiction or complaint by the "non-winning" Buyer.  If you bid/buy (whichever is applicable) on any item I have for sale,  you agree to this fact.

Details,  Details,  Details!!

I TRY TO KEEP IT REALLY SIMPLE.

ABOUT ME

I AM NOT A RETAIL DEALER OR DEALER OF ANY TYPE.

THIS IS  NOT  A BUSINESS FOR ME

I AM OLDER AND DO THIS TO OCCUPY TIME & FOR RECREATION

I WILL SELL ITEMS FOR FRIENDS OR FAMILY

I MAKE NO COMMISSIONS ON THOSE ITEMS.  I JUST SELL THEM

IN ADDITION IN 30-40 YEARS OF LIVING IN THE SAME VICTORIAN HOME THAT HAD MANY BARNS/OUTBUILDINGS I HAVE ACCUMULATED A LOT OF, WELL, I WILL CALL THEM MY  "COLLECTIONS".  DOWNSIZING BY CHOICE TO A SMALLER HOME I HAVE A LOT OF "STUFF" AND "ITEMS" TO SELL.  THUS I WILL BE SELLING ITEMS I NO LONGER WANT, DON'T HAVE ROOM FOR,  OR THAT MY SON DOES NOT WANT TO KEEP IN THE FAMILY.

All BUYER'S AGREE

If you bid or buy any item I have listed here you automatically agree, without question,  to the terms and conditions showing in any of my listings and to all those so listed below.   

REFUNDS OR RETURNS

Because I Am Generally Selling for Friends or Selling because  I am a recent Empty Nester [and have downsized by choice to free up time] and I am selling items I no longer have room to keep and with that said 

                                  I  do not  accept Refunds,  Exchanges, or Returns regardless of reason.  

MISCELLANEOUS STUFF

(BUYER ETHICS)

I would  ask that Buyers have a code of Buyer ethics.   A limited number of Buyers have asked me  to cancel listings,  and sell the item to them outside of eBay.  I do not consider this ethical nor fair to other possible buyers.    I will not cancel a listing to sell outside of eBay,  to sell to you, so please do not ask me to.

    (AT END OF LISTINGS THAT DO NOT SELL) 

Do not contact me AFTER A LISTING ENDS asking to buy it.  If you wish to buy the item bid when listing is active.  Do not assume that if a listing ends up not selling that I am going to relist it right away.  In most cases I will not and if the case it may be listed on another selling site / platform.

(MAKING AN OFFER ON AN ITEM)

I will not accept emailed offers or requests on any item listed on eBay unless  a "make an offer" button shows on listing.    Why?   I do not feel it is fair to others who may have viewed this item, or are watching an item that is listed.

(THE ABOVE COMMENTS ARE NOTHING PERSONAL) 

              It is nothing personal.  It is my view of "selling ethic's" on selling on eBay is all.  Thanks for Understanding.

DESCRIPTIONS 

ALL DESCRIPTIONS ARE HONEST AND TO MY BEST ABILITY.  I AM NOT PERFECT, NOR CLAIM TO BE BUT TRY TO BE IN DESCRIPTIONS.  USE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT AND THEN MAKE YOUR DECISION 100% FROM VIEWING THE PICTURES IN YOUR DECISION OF ITEMS TO PURCHASE.  I AM HUMAN AND MAY NON-INTENTIONALLY MAKE AN ERROR.  ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD "AS IS" AND WITH ALL FAULTS (IF ANY).   

CHECK OUT MY REVIEWS.  THEY SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

USE OF PROPS

I will sometimes use what I call Props to show the size of an item related to the item being sold.  Some examples would be a "coin",  "deck of cards" or similar.   If there are pictures of them they ARE NOT included in the sale. They are there for size reference only.  Only the item being described is what is offered for sale in the description of the item itself.  This is pretty much common sense but thought I should make note of this.  Thank You.

Just a Comment on Vintage items

Why?  Because I like old Vintage items. :0)

VINTAGE, RETRO, ANTIQUE & OLD ITEMS THEY ARE SO COOL

Please remember that Vintage and Antique items will show some wear,  blemishes,  and imperfections that they have acquired though the years.  Old magazines,  books,  publications,  booklets and manuals may come with wear,  age spots & page discoloration.  Some may have a slight age or  other  odor from aging.    It's a natural process.   I collect or have collected many Vintage items over the years and  I personally feel this adds to their character,  charm and shows that the background and history of the pieces as being authentically old and thus making them more in demand,  collectable and desirable to those that enjoy and/or collect them.   Remember that even a vintage item in really good condition is old and it may not function as well as when it was originally made.  Plastic type and other items can change color and/or weaken over time because of light, pollutants, heat, humidity and other items in the air.  So if you intend on using a Vintage item,  please be aware of this,  and be careful.  We can not control how you use them.   They may be more subject to breaking just because of the fact they are old.  Yet other items were made  better back then,  then similar items made today, so you alone have to make your decision to buy and item or not.        With that said when we are selling Vintage & Antique items we are selling them for collectors value,  and likewise if you break an item after it is sold,  this is not our fault,  as vintage and antique items are usually old when we sell them.  We strive to describe the item being sold as honestly as possible.  We are not perfect and if we miss something we apologize in advance and just know it was not intentional.  As with all the items we sell,  we sell these items As IS and with all faults "if any".    

Happy Ebaying.
