Product Details

This is a fascinating piece of industrial history, an antique brass oil burner or lamp font produced by Sutterley in Philadelphia. The base clearly features the embossed markings 'SUTTERLEY PHILADA' and a patent date of 'MAY 8, 1906'. This specific model appears to be an oil-based lighting or heating component, featuring a central wick housing and a side adjustment knob with a rubberized or bakelite-style grip. The solid brass construction has developed a deep, authentic patina over the last century, showing beautiful variations in tone from warm gold to dark bronze. This item is a perfect find for collectors of early 20th-century Americana, industrial decor enthusiasts, or those specializing in antique lighting restoration. Its compact size and heavy build quality are hallmarks of the manufacturing standards of the Edwardian era.
