The ring on the bottom is definitely not like a gear it's got to be strictly decorative.  I have no doubts that it was a gas lantern prior to being converted.  I still only see 5 numbers but take a peek and tell me your thoughts.

Antique Questions Forum / Need help in identifying

« on: May 02, 2015, 06:18:23 pm »

Hi all and thanks for being here.  I'm lost on these 3 old light fixtures I have.  On it it clearly states "patented October 1888" and even has a patent number, 37748.  Anybody help with identifying who may have made these pieces?  Any help,would be greatly appreciated.
