THIS FARMERS LAMP WAS USED IN MY OLD FARMHOUSE AS AN EMERGENCY LIGHT SOURCE OR JUST FOR THE AMBIANCE OF A CANDLE LIGHT. THE WICK HAS A DISCOLORING TO THE TOP THAT IT WAS LIT BUT THERE IS QUITE ALOT OF WICK STILL INSIDE THE RESERVOIR. IT DOES COME WITH THE ORIGINAL CLEAR GLASS SHADE. ALL THE PRONGS TO HOLD THE SHADE IN PLACE ARE NOT BENT OR TWISTED. THE WHEEL WORKS LIKE IT SHOULD. THE BRASS BAND AROUND THE OUTSIDE OF THE GLASS IS FADED AND DOES SHOW SIGNS OF MINOR RUSTING. THE COLLAR HAS A NICE BLACK SHINE TO IT AND IT IS NOT DAMAGED AT ALL. THERE IS A NUMBER 10 ON THE BOTTOM OF THE RESERVOIR AND THE WHEEL IS CLEARLY MARKED AS THIS BEING A FARMERS LAMP.
MEASURES 8 1/4 INCHES TALL X APPROXIMATELY 3 1/4 INCHES IN DIAMETER. THE BOTTOM MEASURES 2 1/2 INCHES IN DIAMETER. THERE ARE NO CHIPS, CRACKS, NO REPAIRS, AND HAS A NICE VINTAGE LOOK TO THE PIECE.
