Most of these date from the late 19th century for use with parlor lamps, generally they had shades as well. Currently oil lamps are not in great demand, they last peaked in value before 2000. this one might go at auction for $150.00

They used a lot of tin, brass, cast iron and "Pot metal" in these lamps. In most cases the metal was electroplated or painted to resemble brass, bronze or gold. The bases tended to be pot metals or cast iron for the weight and balance the lamp.
