Vintage Circa 1800's antique copper and steel Betty lamp.
This Circa 1800's copper over steel betty lamp is very unique in this form. This one has an original spiked copper hanger with a decorative twist. It has a swinging cover which slows the buring process. 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.
