This auction is for a stunning and hard to find oil lamp in the Valencia block and star pattern. It was made by Adams Co., later US Glass, in the late 1800s. The lamp base is 9" tall (not including the new wick mechanism) and 6.5" in diameter at the largest point. Overall it is in excellent condition. T are a few light straw marks and several small bubbles. One of the nubs on the base is chipped which you can see in one of the images. Other than that t does not appear to be any other damage to the glass. Even the base is smooth with no roughness. It has been black light tested and glows. It has a new wick mechanism but an older one is also included. This piece was bought by my father 20 or more years ago with the older wick mechanism. He bought the new one and held onto the old one.

This piece is from my parents' estate and is the last of their vaseline collection we will be selling. It is very hard to find and was acquired after many years of searching by my father.
