Vintage Old West Texas Chicken Ranch Lantern Rustic Brass Oil Lamp Hang on Hook Design 2748-CL
Vintage Old West Texas Chicken Ranch Lantern Rustic Brass Oil Lamp Hang on Hook Design.
The nicest looking Old Western themed lamps that we were indeed fortunate enough to have found. This old Chicken Ranch lamp is very heavily constructed from solid brass and features a unique design where the lamp is separate from the stand and hangs on the stand's hook. Something you would expect to see in a bedroom at the Chicken Ranch or at a old western saloon. It can just as easily sit on a table or hang from a hook indoors or outdoors. It has an attached loop located on the top of the lantern for easy hanging. The lantern is complete with glass chimney, 8" hood, and wick. The small plaque on the hood reads: Chicken Ranch Texas - Do Not Remove From Bedrooms. This Old West Chicken Ranch lamp is 22" in height by 10" wide including the stand.
To fill this lantern the burner unscrews from the top of the oil reservoir. Please note that this oil lamp is being sold for decorative purposes only. It is not cleaned or checked before it is shipped. If you plan to actually burn the lamp, then we first suggest cleaning it, filling the reservoir with lamp oil and placing the lamp in a utility tub overnight to be sure that it doesn't leak oil prior to setting it on a desk or other piece of good furniture. Keep out of the reach of children.
The brass has a nice patina overall giving it a rustic character and making it a very nice item to decorate with. Personally, I think this color, along with the very nice patina on the brass is a big part of its appeal to most collectors. Since it is brass, I'm sure some will want to polish it to a high luster if that's the look they desire. Any final cleaning or polishing will be left up to the lucky buyer. |
