This was given to me by my cousin who found it in her parents home. There are no markings on it and I have no idea where to even start to find information on it. I did find this exact lamp online that someone posted on Pinterest, but they didn't leave any information about it. It has four tools attached to it which I'm guessing are used to snuff out the flame and take out the wick?
A gimbaled whale oil lamp. The oil burnt was very sooty, so the wick required lots of attention, so yes, the tools are to maintain the wick and to snuff it out.
