For your consideration at auction is a heavy brass made ships bulkhead light with a "Bulpitt" oil reservoir. This piece was purchased at an estate sale - we have no history nor it's age. It is a beautiful old piece that appears to be 99% complete. It is a 3 sided glass paneled light with all glass intact. The top section is hinged for easy accessibility. Has a heavy duty brass wall mounting bracket on back. Wood carry handle attached to bail handle. Inside, the oil reservoir slides out for accessibility along with the white enamel tin reflector panel. Attached key on chain is used to control the oil flow without opening the one door. Regarding the oil reservoir - which is marked "Bulpitt" on the lift tab - appears to have a problem with the wick control. We believe a cover is missing from the top of the wick area, one guide bar is missing and the second guide bar is broken - causing the wick not to function properly. Otherwise the piece appears to be in great condition. Measures 16 1/2" in total height, 9" wide and protrudes 6" from the wall. Weighs 11 pounds unpacked for shipping. Any Questions, Please Ask. We charge $1.00 over actual cost of shipping to your zip code - using either USMail Priority, Parcel Post, UPS or FedEx - whichever is the most reasonable and safest for the item. We have found USParcel Post to be somewhat slower
