T is a brass wall bracket original to the lamp, the custom made glass stub screw fits the fixture, and t is a White Flame, Grand Rapids, Michigan burner which has a hinged top, and is old, and probably the original burner when the lamp was first manufactured and sold, but can not be absolutely guaranteed to be original. Thumbwheel turns, and wick advances. Difficult to photo the curved glass, and t are reflections and light glare in the photos. A very pretty lamp, we have not clean or polished the brass.The brass has a few little brownish areas that look like light rust, but the metal does not attract a magnet. The little flower shaped pieces that screw on individually appear to be solid brass and do not attract a magnet. bracket is in over-all excellent condition, with no breaks, repairs, or corrosion, however t are a few inconspicuous marks of age. T are some traces of paint w it was attached to the wall, and one very small dent, mentioned for accuracy, and shown in a photo below. T is a threaded area that may or may not have had additional little brass flower motifs screwed in. No chimney is included with this lamp.

Dot and Mitre pattern consists of a row of four vertical dots or windows, or coin spots, alternating with a vertical slash or opening that is slightly pointed, or mitred at each end. Whether this lamp is vintage or antique, it is lovely. We believe this is the original antique circa 1900s pattern glass lamp produced by an unknown West Virginia glass company which may have been Jefferson Glass, Dugan, or a similar company. A second and remote possibility is that this is a rare Fenton for LG Wright lamp. We are not expert in Wright/Fenton products, and leave that possibility to the collectors. Fenton for LG Wright cranberry opalescent lamps were made in Dot and Mitre pattern in the late 1960s at the same time as Daisy and Fern and Eye Dot patterns. The font shape for this lamp is the same, however the Fenton product was an electrified table lamp, not a wall or bracket oil lamp. Also, the opal glass in the Fenton product appears in photographs to be more opaque than the glass in this lamp. The age of the metal w the lamp screws in also appears to be older than 35 years.
