Original Description:
Extra Small Miniature Finger Oil Lamp Child's Toy?? Hand Blown Antique Ca. 1860. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Priority Mail. This miniature oil lamp measures only 1 3/4" H to top of original brass collar. Measures 1 3/8" W at base, the widest point. Applied handle. I have no idea if this was a child's lamp, courting lamp or  sparking lamp. The Kaiser and Barlow book on Sandwich glass whale oil lamps states that if the finger hole is not large enough to accomodate an adult ...finger, it is then a child's lamp. This finger hole is not large enough for an adult finger.  Lamp has original Spar Brenner burner. The wick riser doesn't seem to work with the wick that is in there, but maybe because that wick is very old and fragile. Nice curly applied handle. Polished pontil on bottom. No chips, cracks or discoloration.
