I fell in love with this the moment I saw it and probably over paid, but they just don't pop up often and even more rarely with a non cracked fount (yet!). All I know about it is it is instant lighting with a preheat cup, so apparently a dual fuel (gas/kero). Not sure on when they were manufactured, but I would assume mid to late thirties. Maybe Neil can chime in on that. Certainly a unique design and this one seems to have a different collar than others I've seen in my searches. Top of the vent spins off for removal: Original and very oddball Macbeth globe: Still lighting the night as it was intended! Thanks for looking folks.
@Toby Garner I don’t blame you paying top dollar for that beauty Toby. In respect of concern about stress-cracks developing in the fount (and with a nod to the globe’s name) … "Present fears Are less than horrible imaginings." - Shakespeare’s Macbeth, 1.3 John
AGM 3718 first appears in the 1937 catalogue and is also in the 1939 edition. Here are the three lamp pages from 1937. ::Neil::
