Signed Brass Whale Oil Lamp #3261
Here is a signed Webb Whale Oil Lamp. It was made by William Homes Webb (1773-1868), in Warren, Maine. I have seen and owned many of these brass whale oil lamps over the years, but I kept this one because I think it is the nicest form I have ever encountered. The suppressed belted ball font, and the suppressed belted ball knop are unique in my experience. It is in excellent original condition, and is approximately 8" tall, being about 9 1/4" in overall height including the wicks.
Here is an opportunity to own one of the nicest of Webb lamps at $1295
