It is Substantially - Primarily Made Out of Solid Brass with a Weight of Over 10 Pounds but Note That it has Copper Fastening Rivet Construction. It has an Elaborate Adjustable Wick Oil Burner Mechanism That is Embossed "BULPITT". The Back has a Wall Mount Hanger Bracket But it has a Swing Hand Handle on the Top so it is Also Portable.

The Wick and Adjustment Mechanism are in Working Order so I Have Every Reason to Believe that it was Filled with Lamp Oil it Would be Functional.

The Front Glass Panel has a few Corner Chips in the Vicinity of the Embossed Maker Mark - Please See Last - 12th Photograph in my Listing.
