Thanks for the info, Illiniguy. I was going to say I'm pretty sure it's an Eagle because that's what's stamped on the burner, but I missed the latter part of your post.

Thanks!  I was guessing 1920s.  I was just curious if my hunch was correct.  I figured for the $15 I paid for it I wasn't getting some rare gem.

I'm trying to get a guesstimate of the age of an oil lamp i bought at a church rummage sale.  It's an Eagle, and it has a threaded brass insert in the top of the reservoir, if that's any indication of anything.  I bought it because it's a beautiful lamp, and the guy said it belonged to his grandmother.  Just curious how old it might be.
