Vintage Reproduction French Pump Lamp with Kosmos Burner - $125 - (Lethbridge, AB)
Here is a beautiful Vintage Reproduction of a French Pump Lamp with Kosmos No. 6 Burner. The sleek thin shape, with a pewter and brass base and tall narrow chimney, is a great example of early industrial design at it's best. It has the correct correct wick and chimney and has never been used (except for display). The total height of the lamp is 18 inches (split equally between the base and chimney) and the base diameter is 4-1/4 inches. This type of burner was patented in 1865 and the name was changed to 'Kosmos Brenner', (literally 'Kosmos burner') in 1899. It was made under this name until the 1970's when the factory closed and tooling destroyed. This lamp would have been made sometime during that period. Check photos to see what you are getting. This is an exceptional find and great addition to your collection.
