This specimen includes an internal rotating mechanism housing red and blue glass aspect filters. The base unscrews to reveal a removable tinned-metal oil burner complete with a circular reflector and a small adjustment knob. The second item is a square-bodied lamp with a vented chimney and a fixed vertical strap handle, containing fixed glass panels in red, amber, and blue. Both pieces exhibit a heavy patina consistent with industrial or railway use. A yellow adhesive label on the cylindrical lamp body reads 1722, and a separate white label on the square lamp chimney reads 1138.
Height: 30.5 cm.
