Item:166670537954Rare Orig. 1858 Fleming Patent Whale Oil Fixed Globe Lantern Pre Civil War Lamp. This is the oil version (a candle version was also made) of John Fleming's 1858 Patent for an innovative and secure mechanism to attach/detach the bellbottom bass of the lantern....with 2 fingers you push together the spring loaded clips that hold this lantern together....for some reason the maker's stamp on the bottom is kind of blurry in most Fleming examples i've seen, stating "J. FLEMING " and the patent date....couple of unusual features, the unreplaceable 'fixed globe' was simply fitted to the frame without the use of plaster, rather unconventional for that era, probably to save mfg labor + materials cost....and the twin tube burner itself is a custom fit for this lamp, slightly smaller threading than your standard No.1 size collar....the tin frame and all soldered connections are solid, straight, intact, no holes splits breaks repairs or missing parts, just surface rust untouched patina....glass is old dirty bubbly swirly....Overall great condition for a Civil War Era piece....Height 11" minus the bail... Buyer pays 17.95 to ship & insure to the lower 48... Happy Spring! ...'cept for a few late winter storms hangin around

Condition:All original and intact, the patented release mechanism operates smoothly....good metal for 165yrs old, some surface rust...
