Friemann & Wolf Pieler

Early Friemann & Wolf Pieler lamp, serial no. 80643.  This lamp shows how prolific a manufacturer F & W was.  This lamp could of been made to a custom spec. The basics of the lamp is similar to a no. 700, but modified with a removable bonnet with a hinged door, and a vertical scale attached to a standard. This style is typical of Bohemian and French Pielers.  It looks like F & W took their German style, and modified it for these different markets.  Lamp is made with a magnetic lock that is stamped “C Wolf Patent”.  No igniter, but fitted with flame snuffer. Gauze is iron instead of the typical brass.  Probably circa 1890.
