Antique Old brass oil lamp by Veritas Lamp Works .

Old brass oil lamp by Veritas Lamp Works circa 1880 - 1930 Veritas oil lamps and lanterns were a prominent brand manufactured in the United Kingdom by Falk, Stadelmann & Co. Ltd. of London, a company with German roots that became a major player in the lighting industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Lambert BRIEN and co ltd HINKS PATENT DUBLIN James Hinks & Son, Birmingham, were established before 1865 as James Hinks and made many oil lamps and similar products. James and Joseph Hinks patented the duplex burner and the extinguisher lever in 1865. This was much better than the straight single wick burner and the idea was copied by others when the patent expired. They also invented the idea of using a key to raise the gallery to facilitate lighting the burner without the need to remove the glass chimney. The chimney used with a burner has an enlarged oval section to suit the flame shape.
