Vintage antique Circa 1800's French Betty lamp. This Circa 1800's French brass betty lamp has a grease tray decorated or stamped in the shape of a 5 pointed star. We have a similar item (DPL-05-026) that is all brass with steel. This one has the original tinsmith made completely out of brass, the hanger or hook is part of the back holder plate. Great primitive pieces for that exclusive Old World Heirloom collection. Betty lamps are an ancient form of lighting used for centuries. These lamps burned fish oil and animal grease and produced a yellow flickering light and disagreeable smoke and odor.
