Any help in identifying this lamp, any details, what it’s worth etc would be much appreciated. I don’t know much about this type of item. The lady I got it off of said she has had it 50 years, but she also has alzheimer’s… The only markings are on the wick turner knob thingy which says… P.&A. Dorset DIV. Thomaston Conn. Thank You!

It appears to be an Amberina repro oil lamp and looks like it is probably from the 60’s so the lady would have been right about having it for 50 years.My brain isn’t functioning right now.Can’t come up with the names of possible makers.
You can check this one out on the “Dark side”. [phone number removed] Listed as an L.E.Smith but can’t see the pattern on yours with the posted picture to give you a pattern name.
