Antique Original Mercury Glass Light Reflector for Kerosene / Oil Lamp
8 1/4″ Diameter
If there is no bid in this item in the first 24 hours we reserve the right to end the auction.
This is a reflector that is in great shape. There is a couple spots on the back and rim that has old paint on it (see pics # 9 & 10), so we will leave it up to the high bidder to clean off, as we don’t want to damage this piece. We cleaned it lightly for pictures.
The “reflector” side has a few light surface scratches from years of cleaning, but nothing major (see pics #1 & 3) , and a couple tiny air bubbles in the glass, which would be a manufacturing flaw and common in old glass.
The back side has a couple deeper scratches, and this is mostly where the old paint is (see pic # 10) and some scratches around the bracket (see last pic). There is a small oval spot approx a 1/4″ long near the outside edge (on the back) that we believe is an oval air bubble that has cracked on the top side of glass. See picture 7 to see it up close and if you look under the cracked top, you can see the oval goes a little deeper in the glass, which is why we believe it is an air bubble that was too close to the surface. Pictures 5 & 8 is of the same air bubble and its location.
There are no chips or cracks on this reflector.
The metal bracket in the back is in good shape and has a piece on it that turns.
This is a really nice old oil lamp reflector and would be a wonderful addition to a lamp collection.
