Price: 650.00

Sold by Findings

This is a historical pair of oil lamps that were meant to hang, and surely did, in a City by the Bay cable car. I bought these from a collector many years ago. They are in excellent condition and have their original burners. They would have set in a metal sleeve attached to a wall of the cable car. The chimneys probably were replaced. These lamps are in very good condition. They are made mostly of brass; the shields were once nickel plated. I have enjoyed them for many years. Great wear and patina.
