Antique Atterbury FILLEY Pat. 1868 Oil or Kerosene Flat Hand Lamp THURO 1, 128-b
See the pressed pattern
This Antique Atterbury lamp has a clear glass body with the Atterbury FILLEY pattern pressed into the surface, plus the THURO 1 mark and 128-b detail collectors look for. The shape is flat and hand-held, made for oil or kerosene. You notice the weight right away.
Check the 1868 details
The 1868 kerosene lamp style shows its age in the small things, from the molded seams to the worn edges that soften the glass. It sits well on a shelf, but it's the kind of piece you'd pick up to inspect in better light. Clean lines, old fire-light function.
Add it to your case
