Hi once again, need help with oil lamp.

[btrent10506]

Really don't know anything about it.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.  Value, age, etc.   Label unreadable.

Thx

are there any marks on the base,

It is the base of a "Gone with the Wind" Lamp. It once had a matching globe that rested on the ring around the font. They date anywhere from 1850 to 1930. Very hard to date. This one appears to me to be from around 1910 but that is just a guess. Look on the adjustment knob for a name or date.

you,ve nailed it...

Frogpatch;
Can you think of another collectible item that is named after and known by a movie? Before 1939 the lowly parlor lamp must have led a rather dull existence.

There are probably several,,, will try to think while I am pulling weeds !!
