A rare crusie lamp with hanger, dating from the 1st quarter of the 19th century or earlier. The bowls of these lamps were filled with fish oil or mutton fat with wicks of peeled rushes. Crusie lamps were the precursors to Betty lamps and were generally made of iron or tin. To find one made of brass, and with its original hanger, is extremely uncommon. The condition of the lamp and hanger is quite good, with normal evidence of wear, and a chip out of the very end of the spout. The overall length of this fine piece is 5" and the height is 4 1/2". |
