    IMG_9404.jpeg IMG_9405.jpeg Can somebody help me identify this lamp. Have never seen one that is ornate as this one is. Do not believe it is from the states so I ask here. Thanks in advance

    Hi Sean, @Seansmithwfd

    This is most likely a lamp from the French manufacturer Bardeau & Gosse, around mid to late 1920,s.
    The burner unit is a typical Bardeau & Gosse burner, but the lamp is unknown to me and is not like
    the Bardeau & Gosse lamps known among collectors or in any paperwork. A built in manometer is
    very odd and unusual and I can´t see any pump connection in your pictures!
    A very nice decorated font.

    Is that filler cap a ball non return and missing the air stem? There has to be some way to lift the fuel up to the burner.

    Not a lamp I know either but that fount has to be French surely and Bardeau most likely as Conny says.

    Hi Conny,

    perhaps this is not a pressure indicator but a level indicator!?

    Kind regards
    Jörg
