The rear white painted reflector is a replacement made to suit, copied from an original, and the large key to the door lock is an old key altered to suit, otherwise all is original and fully overhauled. The burner slides out for filling; the inner hood slides out for cleaning and enables the top outer hood to swing back for access for cleaning or removing the glass panes. The front key locks the glazed side door and the smaller key on the chain permits the wick to be adjusted without opening the door and therefore not permitting the wind putting out the lamp by accident. The whole lamp can be carried by using the top mounted swinging handle with the turned wooden grip, or it can be mounted on the bulkhead by using the clip fitting to the rear panel. All in all a fantastic, well thought out, oil lamp with the odd minor dent and minor pitting, all is complete and in good and working order. 16" tall with handle down x 8" wide x 5" front to back.
