Vint LG SHIPS BRASS SALON/TRAWLER OIL LAMP-12 Photos-BRENNER IDEAL BURNER-BEAUTY

Description

From a vintage wooden cruising Yacht, this hanging Ship's Salon or Trawler Oil Lamp is VERY LARGE AND SHOWY-   It measures 12" wide, and about 16" tall.   When hanging it measures about 20" inches from the top of the lifting ring to the bottom of the reservoir.  All brass construction.  Made years ago in Holland by the respected lamp maker DHR.  .  Made to use any good grade of kerosene or Lamp Oil.  Burner is the EARLY and highest quality Brenner Ideal, which feeds standard wicks into the bright circular configutation .  These early and practical Brenner Ideal burners are collector items in their own right.
Lamp is quite heavy and heavily-constructed.  Surface shows light and attractive signs of shipboard use, with no dents or signs of abuse. Very handsome burnished surface, always kept polished.    Uses standard flat trawler lamp wicks, which the burner guides form into the VERY BRIGHT circular wick arrangement, providing considerable light (Much more than standard flat wick oil lamps) as well as heat for that chilly cabin.  Burner and reservoir can be removed from the hanging lamp body, and moved where needed in the boat or home.   Uses 2 1/4" -2 1/2 glass chimneys.
READY to bring some firelight to a vintage boat or nautical den.    A very well-thought out HANDSOME AND STURDY DESIGN, which will bring some firelight to a Vintage Vessel or enhance any Tavern or Nautical Den.
West Marine used to get 9.00+ for a later incarnation of this lamp, much more lightly made with a far poorer burner.  This original BEAUTY is offered with a....................Low Starting Bid.
