VINTAGE AMERICAN GAS MACHINE “SUN FLAME” TABLE LAMP
MODEL 3066
EXTREMELY RARE
1950’S
UP FOR BIDS IS A BEAUTIFUL GASOLINE TABLE LAMP MADE BY THE AMERICAN GAS COMPANY OUT OF ALBERT LEA, MINNESOTA. THIS JUST MAY BE ONE OF THE NICEST ONE IN EXISTANCE BECAUSE THEY MADE SO FEW OF THIS MODEL! THIS LAMP STAND 17″ TALL WITHOUT THE BRASS FINIAL AND IS 7″ WIDE AT THE BASE. THERE ARE A FEW VERY MINOR FAULTS WITH THIS LAMP…ONE OF THE SMOKED, ETCHED GLASSPANELS IS MISSING AND THERE IS SOME VERY MINOR PAINT SCUFFS. THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF CRACKS, DINGS OR DENTS AND IN THIS CONDITION, I AM SURE IT IS FULLY OPPERATIONAL! THE LAMP IS IN NEED OF A MILD CLEANING. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THIS AND HERE’S WHAT NEIL FROM CLASSIC PREASURE LAMPS AND HEATERS: THE ONLINE SOURCE FOR COLLECTORS AND ENTHUSIASTS HAD TO SAY ABOUT THIS MODEL…
Sun Flame brand table lamp. Probably 300 cp with a gasoline match lighting burner. This one will not run again because the stress cracks are extensive and too big for me to contemplate sealing with an epoxy resin. These lamps are very rare because I have never seen another 3066 and only know of one example of the other mid 1950s AGM Sun Flame table lamp model 3076.
AGM and Sun Flame brands appeared on lamps made after King Seeley acquired Sunflame Appliances in the early 1950s. By this time the demand for Table lamps in the US was in free fall decline and all the manufacturers stopped production of indoor lighting by the mid 1950s. I suspect this lamp is so rare because very few were made and sold. ::Neil::
AS YOU CAN SEE, NOT ONLY IS IT RARE BUT, MINE IS IN SUPERIOR CONDITION TO THE EXAMPLE THAT THEY HAVE ON THEIR WEB SITE! THIS LAMP IS IN BEAUTIFUL SHAPE AND IS DEFINITELY MUSEUM QUALITY.
I AM GOING TO START THIS WONDERFUL LAMP AT $29.99 TO GIVE ALL BIDDERS THEIR FAIR SHAKE AT WINNING THIS ITEM.
THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND GOOD LUCK.
