Sunlight Mantle Lamp |
1920 - 1922 |
Important note: This lamp was sold to me as being a Wards, Sunlight mantle Lamp. There is some question as to whether or not this in indeed a Sunlight lamp. Please keep that in mind and if you know the true identity of this plamp, please let me know.

The Sunlight mantle lamp was manufactured by the E. Miller Mantle Lamp Department for Montgomery Ward to sell through their catalogues. While at first glance the Sunlight mantle lamp looks like the other mantle lamps in the Miller family all the parts except the wick holder and and the filler cap are unique to this lamp. |
The Sunlight mantle lamp is unlabeled
|
The Sunlight mantle lamp burner attaches with a bayonet fitting like the Daylite lamp also manufactured by the Miller Mantle Lamp Department. However the Sunlight burner bayonet fittings are smaller diameter than the Daylite lamp fitting. The Sunlight burner will not fit a Daylite lamp bowl.
The flame spreader stop ring is located below the top of the lamp bowl. This is diagnostic of a Sunlight lamp base. |
 |
The Sunlight burner only has 7 rows of holes in the burner basket which severely restricts the flow of air to the outside of the wick
Unlike the other lamps manufactured by the Miller Mantle Lamp Department the Sunlight gallery does not have a ring of holes around the mantle cone.
The Sunlight mantle lamp uses a cap mantle.

Made of clear glass with a

though the shade itself flares out to nearly 13” and stands
7” tall. The six panels around the shade are all identical
and have a cluster of roses on each corner top and bottom. |
