Friemann & Wolf Pieler

Very early Friemann & Wolf Pieler, Serial No. 46710.  Notice that the lamp is made without an igniter or wick snuffer.  Also, instead of a scale, the lamp is equipped with a simple pointing device that slides up and down one of the standards.  This is to mark the height of the flame during gas testing.  Circa 1888.
