Title: Blackberry oil lamp
Post by: sipesj on October 17, 2009, 07:29:21 pm

I have a very old lamp that was originally an oil lamp, but was converted to an electric lamp. My mother says it was called a Blackberry lamp, and is very rare. It is pale green glass on the top and base, with blackberry flowers on both pieces. Has anyone ever heard of it?

Would this be the 'type' of lamp you have?
