Item Description: Weems & Plath Oil Yacht Lamp Brass in original tub with instructions, new condition and was still wrapped in its original plastic, see pics for more details. The Brass Yacht Lamp is solid brass and is styled after a traditional miner’s lamp. The design includes venting holes at the top of the bonnet and a mesh screen inside that disperses gas from the flame, avoiding the risk of gas build up, a feature crucial to early miners who were at risk of experiencing explosions in airless underground tunnels. This feature makes it perfect for use on boats or on the porches of coastal retreats. The glass enclosed flame cannot be extinguished by even hurricane-force winds as long as the fuel source remains. This safe and reliable lamp is individually-numbered and can stand independently on a table or mounted to a wall or boat bulkhead with one of two mounting options (sold separately.) Length: 3.5 in (8.89 cm); Width: 3.5 in (8.89 cm); Height: 10 in (25.4 cm); Weight: 2.7 lb (25.4 cm). Features & details Solid cast & tooled brass. Wind-resistant glass enclosed flame.
