Condition 8

First patented in 1899 and first production in 1902 out of Duluth, Minnesota. The brass belt mounted carbide container has a spring feeding cup and looks like it would hold more fuel than a standard cap lamp. This takes a lot of weight off of the hat. The steel cap burner has a chimney and cover for foul weather. It also has two lenses that swing into place. The large lens gives a broad beam and the small a more focused one. This is quite a rugged design.

A dead ringer for the X-Ray lamp. This is the mysterious little lamp that no one seems to know for sure who made it.

It is missing the cap retaining wires but is in otherwise great shape.

This lamp has the rare and clever J&T valve cleaner. This innovative button when pushed would send a fine wire into the flame tip and clean out any soot. It also has the clip on  reflector. What a great little light. Its got a beautiful patina and only a couple minor stress cracks on the bottom.

These lights can take a licking, and this one has. A few dents and scratches but I think this one would still fire up. The reflector for this lamp is from I don't know what , but it looks cool.

Rarity 6

Value $225

Condition 7

The Lamp is a Horizontal Justrite with the oval water door. I don’t know anything about the stick except that the front part that goes around the lamp looks homemade. It is a  piece of copper wire that doesn't snap over the stick, it is just bent around it. This looks like the one in Pohs book page 448.

Rarity 2

This is one of the early models of carbide lamps made in Scranton Pa. It was called the Scranton lamp and then shortened to the Scranto .It has an unusual reflector with a bail support which allowed the reflector to snap on. The patina is typical of the northeastern lamps with an olive cast. It has a patent dates of Sept. 12-1911 and Dec 16-1913 on one side and the Scranto trademark on the other.

Rarity 1

Value $400

Condition 6

This is a combination supervisor or cap lamp. The incandescent light makes this lamp look like brass but it is nickel plated and 95% intact. The clever little  handle folds down for cap mounting.  This really is a pretty light with the little sun face logo and star burst reflector. It is my favorite lamp.

Rarity 5

Value $637

This one has 5 solder repairs on stress cracks and the striker is rusted solid but it will still run. The bottom doesn't leak gas and the top holds water. I tested the water valve and it also works. It has an  unusual aluminum reflector.

Condition 8

Polygon Feed Victor lamp. There is not a scratch, dent or crack on this light. It looks perfect in every sense . It has been fired, but not often, (at least it didn't inhale) it looks too good. It caries  the Victor trade mark, and patent applied for on its top.

Rarity 5

The illusive wolf brass cap lamp. With its rounded design it looks more modern than most lamps. The reflector is the only part of this lamp that has any wear and tear. The bottom looks unfired inside  although I know better. No cracks or dings on this one.

Rarity 4

Value $654

Condition 8

A classy X-Ray Fulton Imperial lamp. This is the sister to the illusive EM. Haw lamp. It is in perfect shape except for the cap hook  retainers. They appear to have been cut in half to fit an odd  shaped cap.
