This auction is for a lot of 2 amber glass finger lamps. Both are late 1800's pieces with good honest wear on the bottoms.The first lamp, with vertical ribs and panels, was listed in a Henry & Nathan Russell catalog in October 1884 (see Thuro OLI / pg 214-215). The illustration for it was marked as lamp 11132 and it came in "Blue, Old Gold, and Green." This lamp would be the Old Gold. It has a No.1 Taplin-Brown collar and applied handle and is in perfect condition. It is 3" tall and 3-3/4" wide.Based on the collar style, I believe the second finger lamp to be foreign, probably British. It has a lovely fine ribbed design throughout. The manufacturing molds must have been interesting because the rib texture on the small domed section can be felt on the outside of the font. The rest of the ribbing is completely smooth on the outside, but the texture can be felt on the inside of the font. This one also has an applied handle. The foreign collar is the standard American No. 1 threading (7/8") so your burner will work. There is one unburst bubble in the glass. Condition is perfect. It is 3-3/4" tall and 4" in diameter at the base.Please ask questions if you have any. I try to be fully open in all of my auctions because I want us both to be happy with the results. I do my best to disclose damage or flaws with this in mind. In short, I aim
