John Scott Lamp Question by Leila Bruce
Posted: Dec. 04, 1998 @ 21:32.
I have a brass hanging lamp with shade and snuffer and double wick. On the wick turners is stamped John Scott Made in England. The glass chimney is tall like the Aladdins. Any information as to age and value would be appreciated. Thanks.

Leila: We won't offer "values" here, as this isn't an appraisal service. Don't know "John Scott"; may be a merchant brand. The burner with double wicks and snuffers is a "Duplex" (likely THE most popular UK burner style), and is likely James Hinks and Son, but could be Messenger or several other UK manufacturers. Inspite of the tall chimney, your lamp isn't a mantle lamp like the Aladdin.
Perhaps John Claypole will know who Scott is.

Thanks for the quick response. At least I have several leads to follow now. Perhaps I will get lucky and find the origin date. Many thanks again, Leila
