Featured in this lot is this hanging kerosene wall lamp made by The Angle Lamp Company in New York circa 1890-1910s. A revised understanding of burner placement led to the Angle Lamp's innovative design for kerosene lighting. With less undershadow, this design modification allowed for more direct downward illumination. Thomas Mara Fell was the creator. On January 5, 1829, Thomas Mara Fell was born in Shoreditch, London, England. On November 6, 1888, his first patent, number 392,418, was authorized. The lamp body, which holds the detachable oil reservoir and to which the burner(s) are attached, the burner(s), and the lamp glass, which is made up of an elbow and a chimney-shade, are the main parts of the Angle Lamp. Single and double burner options were available for the wall-mounted models. Typically, hanging models had two, three, or four burner options. This is a single burning wall mounted lamp. The removable top reads, "The Angle Lamp Co. N. Y. / Patented in the U.S. and Foreign Countries". The knob on the extruding piece changes the length of the wick, thus changing the power of the flame. The lamp is missing the glass chimney, but has all other pieces accounted for. The piece shows fair condition with wear from its antique age but no signs of obvious damage is noted. The piece measures 8 3/8" L x 4 5/8" W x 9" H and weighs 1 pound and 4 ounces.
