Lamp of surete l'hirondelle

Lamp pigeon gasoline swallow. Here is a very old pigeon lamp with mineral essence of the brand "the swallow" of 18 cm high. Made of brass brazed with tin with small marks of wear, traces of oxidation and welds... All this for a superb patina filled with authenticity and charm. Even if the wick goes up and down well when you turn the small wheel on the side, I do not advise you to use this lamp. It is too old to have been able to keep all its tightness. Supplied with the globe and its support. A felt dresses the entire interior. The upper part unscrews. This made it possible to fill the "container" part with mineral gasoline. On the façade, despite the signs of wear, we still manage to read "unexplosive guarantee" (over time, I no longer believe it), "safety lamp with felt", "burning with mineral spirit", "registered trademark the swallow", plus the logo in the center of the design of a large swallow. A beautiful lamp of yesteryear for a vintage decoration!.
