Greetings from p6321955! This is a Antique Lomax Oil Guard Globe Lamp. The lamp is made of clear, pressed glass with a lip at the top of the font.

It measures about 15 1/8 inches tall, with the chimney, x 4 7/8 inches in diameter and 7 3/8 inches to the top of the collar. The burner is a Plume & Atwood "Banner". The thumbwheel works but is a little stiff. The chimney measures about 7 1/4 inches tall x 3 1/4 inches in diameter at the widest x 2 1/2 inches in diameter at the fitter end. This lamp is in excellent condition. This lamp is featured in "Oil Lamps: The Kerosene Era in North America" by Catherine M. Thuro on page 179, along with the two other variations.
