Description

A tin oil lamp with a saucer-shaped base and an applied handle. The oil receptacle sits on a tube that is attached to the base, is shaped similar to a coffee urn, and has two narrow spouts for the wicks (missing). The handle on the saucer is "C" shaped and has edges that are folded up to prevent a sharp edge. Attached to the handle is an old white label that reads, "Nellie A. Dodge of Wenham, Mass.." The lamp shows evidence of black paint.
