THE LAMP IS ADJUSTABLE FROM A HEIGHT OF ABOUT 4' TO APPROX. 6'. IT IS MADE OUT OF IRON WITH A BRASS PLATING AND IS HEAVY, 50lbs AS IT STANDS. "THE B&H" IS THE NAME INCORPORATED IN THE DESIGN ON THE LAMP BODY. THE ONLY OTHER LETTERS AND NUMBERS ARE IN THE PATENT WORD AND DATES ON THE COLLAR THAT TIGHTENS THE NECK EXTENSION, WHICH SAYS JULY 3, 1888 AND APRIL 4, 1876. EACH TIER SURFACE HAS DEEP RELIEF WORK THAT PICTURES A WOMANS FACE WITH A CROWN ON BOTH ENDS LONG WAYS AND AN OLD MAN WITH A BEARD ON BOTH SHORT ENDS. ALSO INCLUDED IS THE FIGURE OF A DRAGON WITH WINGS IN THE CORNERS, A THEME REPEATED IN THE LEGS AND IN THE BOWL WHICH HOLDS THE OIL LAMP BEHIND THE YOUNG BOY SLAYING A CREATURE WITH HIS SPEAR. NOTICE THE HOOF LIKE FEET. I AM NOT AN ANTIQUE DEALER, THIS PIECE CAME FROM AN ESTATE. I BUY ESTATE ITEMS AND SELL THEM ON EBAY, SO FORGIVE ME IF MY DESCRIPTION SOUNDS BASIC AND UNPROFESSIONAL.THE ORIGINAL SHADE IS MISSING AS IS THE CHIMNEY. SOMEONE HAS ELECTRIFIED THE LAMP OVER THE YEARS BUT THE WIRES HAVE BEEN CUT OFF. THE OIL FILL CAP IS GONE AND A LARGE HOLE HAS BEEN DRILLED INTO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE OIL RESERVOIR FOR THE ELECTRIC CORD. 1/4"X20 BOLTS HOLD THE LEGS TOGETHER AND A COUPLE LOOK LIKE THEY ARE NOT ORIGINAL BUT THEY ARE ON THE UNDERSIDE AND CANNOT BE SEEN FROM ABOVE.THIS LAMP IS HEAVY, SOLID AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. IT COULD BE TURNED BACK TO ORIGINAL OIL BURNING OR A NEW CORD ADDED FOR 120 VOLT USE WITHOUT MUCH TROUBLE. I HAVE PURCHASED THIS ITEM FROM AN ESTATE AND DO NOT KNOW ITS HISTORY. SINCE THE LAMP PIECES UNSCREW FROM EACH OTHER AND THE TIERS CAN BE REMOVED SHIPPING SHOULD BE EASY. SHIPPING COSTS QUOTED TO LOWER 48 STATES ONLY. NO HANDLING FEES CHARGED, JUST UPS COST DIRECT TO YOUR DOOR! IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE EMAIL OR CALL BOB AT 540-471-9000. Powered by eBay Turbo ListerThe free listing tool.
