This is a nice old 1860 - 1870 Boston and sandwich glass oil lamp .The lamp is white cut to clear and has the thousand eye look when you look inside it .The glass font has small imperfections as these oil lamps have most of the time . 8 1/2 tall font is 4" wide . # 1 collar , font does have the glass pontil under the font as it should .no other chips or cracks .Most of my Lamps Get double boxed for safer delivery .I do combine items to be shipped . I will have a couple hundred very goo...d oil lamps and parts to be Listed on auction in the next couple of months . As you probably noticed that the united states postal service has raised their shipping prices again mainly on large Boxes . It is still more cost effective to send a large package USPS rather than ups or fed-ex by a couple dollars . None of them handle packages any better than the other . I do ship all my packages USPS .
