This antique kerosene oil lamp consists of a clear glass font with intricate pressed glass designs, including a bulbous central reservoir adorned with a band of oval or bead-like motifs around the shoulder, transitioning to a narrowed neck and a flaring, fluted base for stability. The brass burner assembly screws into the collar at the top, featuring a flat wick slot, air intake perforations, a wick adjustment knob marked "MADE IN U.S.A." with a star emblem, and the name "QUEEN ANNE" embossed on the burner body. The metal shows age-related tarnish and oxidation, adding to its authentic vintage appeal, while the glass is free of chips or cracks, though minor surface scratches may be present. Overall height is 9 inches, making it compact and suitable for tabletop or portable use. It comes paired with a glass chimney (total height 15.75 inches with chimney), used to protect the flame and enhance light diffusion.

Age: Based on the "Queen Anne" burner design (patented around 1883 by Charles N. Leonard for Edward Miller & Co.) and the "MADE IN U.S.A." marking on the wick knob, which became common after the McKinley Tariff Act of 1891, this lamp likely dates to the late 19th to early 20th century, specifically around 1890-1920. Some similar examples are attributed to the 1910-1920 period, aligning with production by companies like Scovill Manufacturing Co. The pressed glass style further supports a Victorian or Edwardian era origin, predating widespread electrification.

Origin: Manufactured in the United States, with the burner likely produced by Edward Miller & Co. in Meriden, Connecticut, a prominent lamp maker in the late 1800s. The overall lamp may have been assembled by Scovill Manufacturing Co. (Waterbury, Connecticut), known for hardware and lamps during that era. Queen Anne burners were popular American innovations for efficient kerosene combustion, reflecting the industrial boom in U.S. lighting production from the 1880s onward.
