This is a Davy Lamp...so named after its inventor..Sir,Humphrey Davy...this one is i think a minature one,as they are normally around 30cm...prices vary..from as little as £10...up to £100,s

When I was at an antique store in Florida this past weekend, oddly enough found what I know to be a REPRODUCTION carriage lamp that easily passes for an aged/authentic one.  First time I have come across that!  They did a real good job on it!  Was amazed, impressed and disappointed all in one!

I would have to see a better pic/close up of them to say anything after experiencing this!

What a coincidence. I thought "reproduction" as soon as I saw them.

Im would sure be cautious about the Carriage lamps !! Don`t think I would buy them for authentic !!  No experience with the other one !!

Nice ! Got sod all to do with those lamps though

A few lots earlier, they've called a magic lantern a " A German home screening device ". Some of their " ivory " netsukes also look more like resin.

This is Shou Lao, which they haven't mentioned. Very modern.
