Whale Oil Lamp
Whale Oil Lamp by unknown artist. The lamp is made of clear glass. The base is square with a wavy edge and a series of ridges on the top. A short, thick pillar rises from the base, with a series of ridges around the middle. The main body of the lamp is a long, narrow, tapered cone shape with a wide base that narrows to a small opening at the top. A black metal piece with a small knob on top covers the opening. The background is plain white.
