Five Early Victorian Kerosene Lighting Catalogs ( Historical Lighting Reprints Volume
2 ) The five catalogs include two from the Tucker Manufacturing Company (patterns later acquired by Bradley and Hubbard) showing wonderful examples of fine early cast iron work. This company was one of the premier hanging lamp manufacturers of their time, but their lamps have not been well documented until now. Also included are a J.C. Ives Company catalog illustrating the Ives patent burners and many lamps, a Union Glass Company catalog that includes many Lomax patented lamps as well as fonts used on Bradley and Hubbard lamps, and a Manhattan Brass Company Perfection Student Lamps catalog. The catalogs are augmented by additional ephemera, a price guide, information on the catalogs and companies, patent information and a cross reference showing lamps that occur in multiple catalogs (including the 1883 Bradley and Hubbard catalog). - click here to order.
