The Cardinal Ruby Lamp Very Rare Vintage Oil Burning Metal Safelight This dates back to the very early days of photography. It is an oil burning safelight. I believe it dates from around 1870 and they are very hard to find. I have not lit it, so I'm sure if it's still working.The burner and wick both looks in a working condition and even the wheel on the side of the burner, for lifting and lowering the wick, still works well.The lamp has an Orange glass screen and a red glass screen, both undamaged. It also has a drop down metal cover so the screens can be covered.This is a must purchase for anyone who is serious about Vintage photography as this is about as vintage as it gets. Dimensions:height 24cm,width 12.3cm. Shipping R50.00
