Up for auction is this attractive copper hand lamp with cast brass handle and feet in 'arts & crafts' style, very much the style of Mr Benson. Fitted with a Hinks 'bijou' burner with 1/2 inch wick, the lamp is also probably by Hinks .Lamp is 6 inches wide including the handle and 11&1/2 inches high including the chimney . Burner is in perfect working order, the chimney is the correct 'bottle' shape so that the shade will fit over it, but is a new one made of Borosi...licate glass, so you can use it without risk of heat breakage which is such an issue with originals of this type .No dents or broken bits to the lamp, copper has a nice chocolate patina to it which is probably orignal. There is a stud in the very centre of base, probably a repair to a 'puncture' of some sort, done a long time ago. No leaks, burner is fitted with a decent wick of the correct size which winds up and down as it should . Burns without smell if you use clean paraffin . Instructions for use included in sale .The burner has the usual integral 'bijou' shade carrier, to accommodate a shade with max base diameter 58mm, and minimum internal diameter of 50mm to pass over the chimney and chimney grips .NOTE, THE SHADES SHOWN ON THE LAMP IN LAST 4 PICTURES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN SALE ( FOR SALE SEPARATELY ) SHOWN FOR EXAMPLE ONLY
