    I would just like to know when the thin brass (non-magnetic) oil lamp is from (I'm guessing second or third quarter of 1900s) and what the thing is that looks like it holds a globe (the rings spin).
    After tax and buyer's premium, these, a patent 1886 oil lamp (electrified), a 1920s-1930s glass shade, and a signed alabaster table lamp (not picture), all came out to a dollar twenty-two. Not bad!

      Oh, yes, the little burner fits into the hole inside the lamp. And the cone (round roof) goes on top, but the solder had snapped off.

      I'm *guessing* that the big lamp is a carriage lamp.

      The large lamp is indeed a carriage lamp and probably newer.
      The bracket that has two collars that spin, is a lamp holder. It allows an oil lamp to move with the motion of a boat or horse drawn vehicle, versus spilling or having the wick snuff out.
