Antique Oil Lamp Purple Sun Tint Clear Glass with Original Burner Collectible Survivalist Off Grid Power Outage Prep
$40.00
This antique glass oil Hurricane lamp has a purple tint developing in the transparent glass, from the Sun's UV rays. It is in good working order. It dates to pre 1915 most likely. It has what looks to be the original burner and an included old wick you may wish to replace before using.
The knob on the burner says "Banner", "Made in USA" and "P & A Manufacturing." It is appx. 11-1/2 inches tall including the burner. The base is 5-7/8 inches in diameter. There is a raised design around the base and where the oil is held. A vintage glass chimney comes with this. The lamp weighs 2 lbs and over 14 ozs. There are no chips or cracks on this. Check photos closely for condition. These are great for creating an old fashioned look or even for power outages and survival in style!
The lovely purple color of this glass is caused by the presence of manganese. It was used in early glass production as a de-colorizer to turn the glass clear. Manganese is one of the oldest glass additives. Purple manganese glass was used since early Egyptian history. Around 1915 most glass companies stopped using manganese. Selenium was used instead, as the clearing agent. Glass that contains manganese will turn amethyst or purple when exposed to ultraviolet rays of the sun.
I will gladly adjust and combine shipping for everything that fits in one box.

All vintage items have lived a previous life, which is usually visible. I do my best to describe any significant damage. Check photos closely, as that is part of description.
