Manufacturer: Russell and Erwin Mfg.
Standing approximately 6 inches with a rich dark patina reflecting it’s age and the burning of whale or coal oil, this classic gimbal mounted lamp remains complete even to it’s early double wick, whale oil burner. The classic spun brass burner with it’s heavy figural cast brass mount sits atop a heavily weighted spun brass base all with the intent of stability in the pitch & sway environment of a ship’s table or desk. (The core of it’s heavy iron base was cast so as to accommodate peg or hook wall mounting.) While we located this scarce lighting fixture illustrated in Civil War vintage catalogues of Russell and Erwin Mfg. of New Britain, Conn. we would expect production earlier of Hardware & Lighting catalogues would place the manufacture of this design back to at least the 1830’s. The Russell and Erwin Mfg. reference we found refers to this fixture as a SHIP LAMP or brass double swinging lamp with the notation also used on trains. An outstanding piece of lighting Americana!
