The Rochester Lamp Co. was actually located in New York City. I'm treading on thinish ice here, as I don't know much about the company. I don't know what the company actually manufactured, if anything. Edw. Miller claimed that they made the Rochester Lamp from 1884 on, after buying the original patent of one Leonard Henkle from a somewhat notiorious broker named Charles Upton. Upton is reputed to have also sold the same patent to Bridgeport Brass, a Miller competitor.
I hope that there is someone out there who can help with the parts! "Hens Teeth?" :: Fil ::
