C1900-Lot of 4: metal & aluminum construction chimney-type safety lamps. While these appear to be almost identical, they are from different manufacturers. 1&2 are Koehler models, made with some brass parts, but mostly aluminum construction. There are bolts arrayed around the top plate which hold the units together. The globes are heavy glass cylinders, which appears typical with all. They measure 9" tall x3.75" in dia. 3 is a Wolf Safety Lamp, made in Brooklyn, NY. It is very similar to the Koehlers, only slightly smaller, at about 8.75" tall x 3" in dia. This specific piece is in the nicest condition. 4 is made of sheet metal (not aluminum) and bears some surface rust. Again, very similar in construction and size to the Koehler model. All units have a screw adjustment and a wire pull switch in their respective bases. A nice group. HKA#64471
