18.55 BOAT SIGNAL LAMP. Late 1800’s hand-held American signal lamp boldly stamped “BOAT SIGNAL LAMP” on the front. This sturdy little veteran of the sea is made of solid brass with a thick bull’s eye lens which is obviously of early manufacture owing to the bubbles and occlusions in its glass. The unique function of this lamp was to transmit Morse code. For that purpose it is equipped with a small brass knob attached to a silvered brass, spring-loaded “light curtain” which rotates internally to open or close the light source. That source is a “wedge-type” burner with wick advance knob atop its original oil font which seats tightly into a receptacle in the bottom. For hand-held use this lamp is equipped with two folding wire handles on the back. In addition it has two separate brass clips for hard mounting to the ship! The castellated top is designed to disperse heat, while the bottom of the lamp has over 30 small holes for aspiration. The front door of the lamp holds the lens and hinges forward, held by a spring loaded clip, to expose the oil font and burner within. 8 ½ inches tall and 6 ½ inches wide at the widest. The base measures 3 ½ inches in diameter. Outstanding condition with a lovely high polish. The only flaw is a small fleck in the bottom of the lens. This is a lovely, totally original nautical lantern in amazing condition for being over 100 years old! 279

18.54 ANCHOR LAMP. Particularly pristine little sea veteran embodied in an all brass anchor lamp made by the prestigious “Perkins Marine Lamp & Hardware Corp., Brooklyn, NY., U.S.A.” as marked on the embossed oval brass maker’s tag. This diminutive navigational lantern comes with its perfect, heavy clear glass Freznel lens protected by 6 vertical struts which also serve to hold the top and bottom of the lantern together. The chimney is encircled by “pine tree” aspiration vents and is capped with a substantial pivoting suspension ring. The bottom is encircled by small “breather” ports and is flanked by two pivoting eyelets for attachment to halyards. The original brass font is of the screw-in type, locking with a bayonet twist. It retains the original wedge-type burner with old wick. 10 inches tall inclusive of the ring, by 4 ½ inches in diameter. Superb condition throughout with a “to die for” statuary bronze age patina only acquired through years of actual use at sea. The nicest of the nice! 249

18.53 BOAT SIGNAL LAMP. Handsome
early 1900’s American signal lamp impressed on the front “BOAT
SIGNAL.” It was made by the famed “Perkins
Marine Lamp & Hardware Corp, Brooklyn, NY., U.S.A” as
marked on the back. This all brass lamp features a circular
Freznel lens embossed “Corning Made In U.S.A.” on the
glass. It is set into a hinged door with a snap latch on the
front of the lamp. Behind the lens is a silvered brass
shutter operated by a knob fitted into a slot in the bottom of the
lamp. The spring-loaded shutter, slides back and forth exposing
the burner, which enabled the operator able to transmit Morse Code
signals at night! This lamp is complete with its original
wedge-type burner marked “*PERKO* U.S.A.” on the wick
advance knob. It screws into its brass font which in turn fits
snugly within a receptacle in the bottom of the lamp. The back
of the lamp is equipped with two tabs for mounting it securely to the
vessel. The top of the lamp is beautifully double castellated
for the disbursement of heat generated by the burner. 8 ½
inches tall by 5 ½ inches front to back and 3 ½ inches
wide. Near perfect cosmetic condition noting only minor pits in
the lens. Bargain priced.

18.52 AMERICAN BINNACLE LAMP. Authentic 19th century oil-fired lantern used to illuminate a ship’s binnacle for night steering. This nautical lantern was hand-made of especially thick walled brass. It has a glazed door with sliding locking pin which hinges open to reveal the original font with burner marked “E. Miller Co., Made in U.S.A.” on the wick advance knob. The trapezoidal glass window points downward to direct a small amount of light on the compass suspended within the binnacle. This old lantern exhibits early hand-made construction evidenced by the hand-hammered rivets on its backside. The top is also of heavy cast brass with an adjustable domed chimney. It is equipped with a folding bail handle insulated with wood. As shown, the lamp stands 10 inches tall by 3 ¾ inches wide at the widest and measures 6 5/8 inches from its bottom to the flange. It will fit into a binnacle lamp receptacle having an opening of 3 3/8ths inches or greater. Outstanding original condition exhibiting a rich old age patina. Circa 1880. 249

18.51 GIMBALED SALON LAMPS. Really fabulous, 3rd quarter of the 19th century, matched pair of ship’s gimbaled lights made by the “E. Miller Co., Made in U.S.A.” as embossed on their wick advance knobs. Everything about these lamps speaks quality! They are cast of the finest solid brass with lovely ornate details. The gimbal ring is cast with decorative recurring ridges. The mounting bracket is literally a work of art with realistic high relief mascaroons flanking each side, embellished with floral designs and recurring beading. The solid brass base is backed by a heavy lead insert which allowed the lamps to be used on a table. However they are also fitted with a mounting slot to accommodate a hanging bracket on the bulkhead. These lamps are complete with their original fitted, hand-blown glass chimneys and are in superb condition. They both retain the original statuary bronze age patina which collectors avidly seek. 11 ½ inches tall overall by 6 ¾ inches wide at the widest. The base measures 4 ¾ inches in diameter. Unquestionably the nicest pair of such lamps we have ever offered. Circa 1870. 1695
As evidenced by their ornate, decorative nature, these lamps obviously adorned the salon of a luxury yacht or the first class cabin of a passenger steamer. None were made finer!
Edward Miller started his business in Meriden, Connecticut, in
1844 when he joined Horatio N. Howard in opening a small shop making
screws, candle holders and lamps which burned whale oil, camphene and
other fluids. The following year Miller took over Howard's
business and struggled to make it a success. In 1857 a fire
destroyed the shop. However Miller quickly rebuilt, this time
incorporating steam power into his production. That fact,
spurred by increased demand generated from the Civil War, caused
Miller's lamp business to grow rapidly during the 1860's.
After oil was discovered in Pennsylvania in 1859, kerosene proved to
be a safe and affordable lamp fuel. Miller envisioned a demand for
lamps using the new fuel and quickly began manufacturing kerosene
burners. In 1866, he formed E. Miller & Co. Two years later
Miller constructed a brass rolling mill to keep up with his company's
demand for brass. The manufacturing capacity of his firm
immediately increased.
As times changed, so did types of illumination. Toward the end of the
19th century gas became a viable fuel for cooking, heating and
illumination. The ever enterprising Miller entered into the
manufacture of gas lighting fixtures and stoves. As the age of
electricity beckoned, Miller took up the call, improving
upon Edison's carbon filament lamp with a tungsten filament
bulb, still in use today.
Edward Miller died in 1909 at the age of 82. But the Miller Company
continued to produce wares to his high standards and is still in
existence today.

18.50 PORT and STARBOARD LANTERNS. Especially nice matched pair of diminutive late 19th century American small craft running lamps made by the Dietz Company of New York as embossed on their burners. This scarce early set is constructed entirely of brass, each with its corresponding red and green glass lens. Speaking to their age, the glass exhibits bubbles and striations indicative of early hand-blown manufacture. The construction of the lamp bodies is of the highest order, with precisely fitted solder joints and riveting. The lamps have classic 1800’s American-form vented chimneys with pivoting suspension loops on top. They are also equipped with mounting brackets which have “breather” holes on both sides for aspiration. Each lamp is complete with its original spring-loaded press-in font with wedge-type burner embossed “DIETZ.” Outstanding original condition with a lovely statuary bronze age patina. They measure 8 inches tall exclusive of the bail loops and 4 inches in diameter. This set is without question the nicest matched pair of small running lamps we have ever offered! Really “sweet.” 495
The Dietz Company is arguably the oldest and most productive lamp manufacturer in American history. Begun by its namesake, Robert E. Dietz in Brooklyn, New York in 1840, the company achieved preeminence in the manufacturing of lighting of all types for more than 150 years! Even today, the company still exists, with factories producing products under the Dietz name in China.

18.46 RARE AMERICAN N.U.C. LAMP.
Spectacular early 1900’s ship’s warning lamp made by “Lovell,
Arlington, N. J.” as impressed on the chimney cap. This
massive ocean going N.U.C. (Not Under Command) lamp is constructed
entirely of thick brass with a heavy ruby red glass Freznel lens
marked “CORNING” front and back, and “LOVELL.”
Every aspect of the construction of this lantern speaks to its superb
quality. It was made at time when American pride of workmanship
and attention to detail were at their peak! Entirely
hand-fabricated, it is amazingly well put together. The top of
the lamp hinges open and close with a very tight press fit. It
is surrounded by a graceful cast brass pivoting handle with
eyelet. All connections are done with hand-hammered
rivets. The top and bottom sections of the lamp are made of
unusually heavy spun brass with 6 vertical supports and 2 horizontal
rings which serve as glass guards as well as holding the lamp
together. They are connected with large brass screws. A
pair of pivoting eyelets top and bottom are provided to secure the
lamp from the ship’s mast with halyards. This lamp
retains its original, extra large oil font with burner. The
burner is embossed “SIMPLEX” and the wick advance knob is
marked “Miller Co. U.S.A.” The font inserts into
the bottom of the lamp with a double spring-loaded press fit.
Again, the joints on the font are not only soldered but also riveted –
yet another indication of this lamp’s superior quality.
The lamp body stands 20 ¼ inches tall and just shy of 2 feet
with the handle. It measures 11 inches in diameter and weighs
in at an amazing 22 pounds! Condition is remarkably good for a
seagoing lantern of this vintage. It has an absolutely
wonderful statuary bronze age patina. The glass lens is
perfect. There is a small condition issue on the top chimney
cap (shown in photos). Otherwise this huge ship’s lamp
must be rated as outstanding!
1500
The Dressel Company of New York City, was a well-known name in the transportation lighting dating back to the 1880's. It was purchased by F. H. Lovell in the 1920's and the production facilities were moved to Arlington, New Jersey.
As a comparison, some distinctively similar lanterns by Lovell were recently sold. Unfortunately they were electrified. They can be found at: http://www.skipjackmarinegallery.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=SNWMG&Product_Code=LC012&Category_Code=JI

18.45 RARE SHIP’s ONION LAMP. Lovely, very early ship’s globe lantern or “onion lamp” from the days of sail. This lamp is almost certainly of American manufacture. It is of all copper construction with its original blown glass globe. Entirely hand-made, it exhibits neat riveted and soldered joints, punched cruciform vents and a castellated top. The top and bottom of the lamp are connected by 5 stout copper supports which double as guards encircled by an equally heavy equatorial ring. The top of the lamp hinges open and there was a provision for a hasp. The blade is present but the flap is not. This truly wonderful old lamp measures 15 inches tall (17 1/2 inches overall with the handle) and is 11 inches in diameter The thick glass globe is wavy with bubbles and inclusions, typical of glass manufactured prior to the Civil War. One heat crack in the glass does exist which, happily, does not even show from most perspectives. The font with burner, most likely whale oil, is no longer present. Lovely form, condition, and age patina with no corrosion. The biggest and best lamp of its type we have yet come across. A very rare example of a nicely preserved early marine lantern. Circa 1850. 595
Copper, an elemental metal prized for its heat conductivity, malleability and resistance to corrosion, was the premium material used by manufacturers of the earliest marine lighting.

18.35 MASTHEAD LAMPS. Large and very
impressive matched set of early 1900's American
ocean-going ship's running lamps made by the "Perkins Marine Lamp
& Hdwe Co. Brooklyn, N.Y." as embossed on the oval brass maker's
tags. This massive, finest quality set is all brass
with each lamp weighing over 22 pounds! They both have thick,
molded glass Freznel lenses marked "Perko Mould No. 36." Both lamps
retain their original screw-in fonts (marked "PERKO"), complete with
functional burners and chimneys. As configured onboard ship, the
lamps would have hung on vertical support rods secured to the ship's
mast or superstructure. To these ends there are four stout brass
brackets, two on each side of the lamp, riveted to its side. To aid
the ship's bos'n in their placement or removal, a folding bail handle
is affixed to the top of each lamp. They are equipped with hinged
lids at their tops as well. These magnificent lamps stand 20 inches
tall (exclusive of their bail handles), 13 inches wide and 12 inches
deep. They are in lovely cosmetic condition with a high polish. Minor
flaws do exist in both lenses, consistent with normal shipboard use.
Their overall condition is outstanding. This is without
question, the nicest, most impressive matched pair of ship's lamps we
have ever had the pleasure of offering!
Required for nighttime steaming under the International Rules of the Road for open ocean-going vessels, mastlamps were displayed in tandem in a line along the ship's heading. The forward lamp was placed at a distance ahead of and below the after lamp. Often times this was atop the pilothouse, with the after lamp placed on the mast. On two-masted vessels the first lamp was placed on the forward mast at a height about 15 feet lower than the lamp on the after mast. The effect allowed an observer on shore or another vessel to visually determine the ship's heading, knowing the lower of the two lights was in the lead.

These ship lamps are in absolutely magnificent condition with no flaws whatsoever! 19 inches high and 7 1/2 inches in diameter. As close to being a perfect matched pair as we have ever seen! 1995
"P & A," Plume & Atwood, was organized in January, 1869 as HBA (Holmes, Booth and Atwood) with the name changing to the Plume and Atwood Manufacturing Company in 1871. The company was incorporated in 1880. Plume & Atwood produced a full line of kerosene lamps and associated oil burning equipment. Between 1871 and 1912 the company had 62 lighting patents thanks primarily to the company's namesake, Lewis J. Atwood, who was a prolific inventor. While Plume & Atwood manufactured and marketed their own line of lamps, they also produced and supplied fittings to other lamp manufactures. For example, P&A made all of the brass parts for the famous Aladdin lamp line through 1963.

The first shipboard lanterns or "lant-horns" burned candles and had sides that were literally made of translucent animal horn! Early in the 19th century candles were replaced by oil burning wicks. About the time of the American Civil War two more innovations in lighting occurred. Up until then lamps burned either whale or vegetable oil and were non-aspirated. Their small cylindrical wicks required a "pick wick" for adjustment. Improvements were made both in the fuel and the burners. More efficient and less costly petroleum-based lamp oils replaced organic sources. And the adjustable burner with a wide, flat wick was introduced. Used in combination with an internal chimney, light output was greatly enhanced.
In the 19th century 24 karat gold was a valuable ingredient used to produce a deep red, translucent color in optical and ornamental glass. In subsequent years, many lamps with red lenses met their demise at the hands of the salvers intent on retrieving the precious commodity. As a result, there are fewer antique red lens lamps extant today compared to their clear and green (blue) counterparts.

18.26 LARGE ANCHOR LAMP. Especially
nice example of an ocean-going marine lantern from the early part of
the last century. This big all brass and copper light is of British
make and bears the embossed brass maker's label reading, "R. C.
Murrary & Co. Limited Pollockshaws Rd, Glasgow S1". In addition
to its maker's tag it has three more applied brass labels. The
topmost reads "LAMPADS No. 1907." The largest and boldest tag reads
"ANCHOR" below which is a tag stamped "3M". The lovely
lighthouse-like Freznel lens is made of very thick glass that gives
the lamp a 360 degree arc visible for 3 nautical miles! The heavy
duty construction is evidenced by the top which hinges open to expose
a large font with double wick burner and original crystal chimney
within. The twin wick advance knobs are impressed "Sherwoods Ltd.
BHAM" and the burner is equipped with a snuffer lever to extinguish
the flames after use. The large oil tank is equipped with a screw-on
brass filler cap. The entire assembly fits tightly into its notched
receptacle within the lamp, rimmed with dozens of small circular
aspiration vents. A brass hasp with hook closure on a chain secures
the lamp in front. A second hinged closure on the top allows the lamp
to be opened to inspect the flame. The chimney is triple insulated.
In use this lamp was hauled up the ship's mast with halyards. To
secure it as such, the lamp is equipped with substantial brass bail
handles on the top and bottom. These are attached to heavy cast brass
brackets riveted to the body of the lamp. This handsome navigational
lantern stands 20 inches tall, 11 inches wide at the widest and
weighs 17 pounds. Totally complete. All original. Outstanding
condition, as last used aboard ship. Certainly one of the finest
lamps of its type we have offered.
