Antique Miller & Sons / Manhattan Brass Co Student Oil Lamp - spares or restoration
Student lamp, marked faintly on the wick chute "MILLER & SONS 179 PICCADILLY. It uses a Manhattan Brass Company patented burner with the latest date of 1879. I would presume the lamp will date to sometime just after 1879.
..."font-family: Arial; color: rgb(0, 66, 154);">I have included a number of photos and these probably describe the item better than I can and form part of the description. Everyone has different considerations when purchasing items and if you need any further information, please feel free to contact me and I will try to help.
Condition: A used lamp, not cleaned or polished without any glass work or wick. There is splitting to the brass work on the base along with knocks to the brass work. It looks like some of the lamp was once nickel plated but this has worn off quite considerably in places. Some surface corrosion but the font is sound and the tubes are free allowing movement of oil. The font and burner arms both appear to slope away at an angle. All prongs on burner intact. No wick chase. Please also see photos.
Size: Height 53.5cm.
It will be shipped dismantled as shown in picture 8. Packed weight will exceed 2kg so will be sent by courier. If your country does not show a shipping cost please feel free to ask for a shipping quote.Please note that any European shipping prices quoted are for mainland Europe and exclude the Islands (Canaries, Balearic etc).
Please feel free to ask any questions but please please ask through Ebay. Unfortunately, selling on Ebay generates a lot of spam and dubious emails and I now only respond to questions placed directly through Ebay. I will try to answer questions as soon as possible, but this will normally be in the evening. There are times where I may not be able to reply within 24 hours but I will reply well before the listing ends.
Postage
I am always happy to combine postage, but please contact me before paying to arrange the most suitable method. Unless I am offering free postage, I tend to charge P&P at cost plus 15-20% to cover packaging materials & other charges ( a little more for smaller items). Items that are under 2kg and fitinto a box 45 x 35 x 16cm will be sent by Royal Mail, at a cost of £3.55. Larger or heavier items will be sent by courier. Parcels up to 2kg £4.70, up to 10kg £7.8 ( please note that there are some exceptions to this for large items). If the items have a value of over £25 and up to £100 an additional £2.22 may be added for insurance and signature. There may also be a surcharge for delivery to the Islands and Highlands. I will still happily send an item by any of the Royal Mail services if you prefer (Standard, Confirmed, Special Delivery), so please just let me know and I will provide a quote.If you require a tracking number for the item, please ensure that you pay for a tracked service.
I am always happy for collection in person or for a buyer to arrange their own courier which may be cheaper for the winning bidder. Hermes is preferred for UK collection as we have an exceptionally good delivery man.
International items under 2kg will still be sent via Royal Mail. I will quite happily post most itemsoverseas, but if I have not already been provided international prices, please ask me for postage costs beforebidding.
I will not post to the Middle East, South America or Africa. International items sent by courier will require a contact telephone number.
Packing -I pack to ensure the item arrives with you undamaged. If you have specific packing instructions, please contact me before paying as this may have an impact on the price, as both an increase in weight or size can increase the cost of delivery.
I do try to recycle boxes and other materials wherever possible and will sometimes use newspaper forpadding out, if it does not have any impact on the cost of postage.
