Model 10 table lamp manufactured by Nagel-Chase Mfg. Co., Chicago, Illinois.
This double burner lamp was a challenge for Neil McRae to run
as it required cleaning a generator from another lamp to use in this lamp.
Nagel-Chase used the large "eye" finial, tapered shade hanger,
and three lobed valve wheel on other models.

Neil McRae believes this Nagel Chase lamp model
may have been made exclusively for a mail order company.
It seems to have the fount from a model 10
and the burner unit from a Model 11A or 15.
Don Colston cleaned this lamp up for his friend, "Dale the Polak,"
and found afterwards that the lamp ran very well.

The Model 15 Nagel-Chase lamp was sold by Montgomery Ward & Co.
and dubbed the "Superlight" in the 1926-27 and the 1927-28 catalogs.
The unfired lamp (left & center) is in Craig Seabrook's collection,
while the lamp on the right is in Fil Graff's collection.
The copper flange on the generator was supposed to help in preheating.
The shade on the right is marked Rock Brand
and varies in design from the shade in the center image
which is figured on this lamp in the literature.

Nagel-Chase possibly made this unidentified wall lamp for Sears or Montgomery Ward.
The lamp lacks feet which are usually present on wall lamps
so that it can sit on an horizontal surface,
but instead has a second wall attachment at the bottom of the fount.
This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.

Nagle-Chase Mfg. Co. also made these hanging lamps -
Model 150 Dreadnaught Individual gasoline lamp (left & center)
and Model 38 Wizard Individual kerosene lamp (right).
which are in Neil McRae's collection.
The first lamp is 300 cp while the second is 300-400 cp.
The shade on the Model 38 is not original.
Both lamps have pressure gauges.

Nagel-Chase also made this No 192 inverted outside arc lamp.
It is listed in catalogs of that company from 1920-1930
and sold in the later years for $24.85.
A kerosene model, it was rated by the manufacturer at 600cp.
This lamp with the original globe is in Harold Porter's collection.

This unknown model arc lamp is marked
"Manufactured by National Stamping & Electric Works,"
a company that was located in Chicago, Illinois.
It is also marked "Nulite Lighting System."
This lamp, with a period petticoat shade and chimney,
is in Dick Sellers' collection.

This outdoor arc lamp is marked Nulite
Chicago Solar Light Company.
The consolidation of National Stamping & Elec. Works
and Chicago Solar Light Company
occurred in 1909-10 which helps to date this lamp
in Dick Seller's collection.

This lamp was probably made by National Stamping & Electric Works, Chicago, Illinois
or possibly by the Solar Lamp Co that preceded them.
It has an overhead generator and dates to circa 1910.
This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.

This Nulite table lamp by National Stamping & Electric Works
is similar to Model 110 that appears in their catalog No. 76
which we can date to 1916-18.
It is a torch lighting model with a pivoting door
to access the generator tip for cleaning with a pricker;
Model 110 had an automatic tip cleaner..
  This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.

This one mantle wall or bracket lamp is marked Nulite/Chicago
but we do not have a catalog that pictures this torch lighting model.
there is a tip cleaner at the top of the generator
which is not obvious in this image.
The air tube on this lamp, which is in Bruce Strauss's collection, is missing.

Neil McRae believes this lamp
is an early version of Nulite Model 110M;
a later version figured in a catalog has the air tube supporting the burner.
The M designation in the model number means that it is match lighting,
according to Neil, unlike the torch lighting model above.
This lamp is in Wade Golden's collection.

National Stamping & Electric Works, Chicago,
made this Nulite 202M chandelier lamp.
This lamp has a 2 qt. fount
and produces 800 cp from the two, double mantle burners.
The Nulite 299 white embossed shades are original to this lamp.
This lamp is in Dwayne Hanson's collection.

The Nulite M203 ceiling lamp
was a match lighting model that boasted 400 cp from two mantles.
The top of the fount has a filler cap and air screw for pressurizing the gas.
This lamp is in Dwayne Hanson's collection.

Two Nulite table lamps for Sears - Model 520.07705 (left)
in John Anderson's collection, and Model 520.07737 (right).
The lamps differ in the detail on the handles.
The finish is gone from the steel fount of the lamp on the right.
The pricker wire is missing from the generator, but I was able to run the lamp
after flushing fuel through the generator with the orifice removed.

This early Nulite gasoline table lamp
was rated at 300 cp by the manufacturer
in their #69 catalogue.
This lamp, in John Carriere's collection,
is fitted here with a globe
rather than a shade as shown in the catalogue.

Two versions of the Model 10 Air-O-Lamp made by National Stamping and Electric Works, Chicago.
The Sunshine Safety Lamp Company in Kansas City, MO
badged the lamp on the left and center (running).
This lamp features the original artichoke shade
The lamp on the right is marked as made by the manufacturer,
Access to the filler plug and valve wheel on this model is artfully concealed
under the sliding bell-shaped cover above the fount.
These two lamps are in Neil McRae's collection.

The Pitner Gasoline Lighting Co., Chicago,
made parlor lamp Model 2001.
Originally nickle plated, this torch-lighting lamp
has the fuel filler valve and control knob
under the sliding cover.
This 28" tall lamp is in Jeff Johnson's collection.

This lamp appears to be an earlier model made by Pitner
based on the similarities of the burner and other parts.
This 21" tall lamp has no preheating cup
and a vertical air tube.
The burner gratings are similar to the above lamp
but are easily bent.

This fount is in Henry Plew's collection.
It came from the Rochester, New York area and lacked the correct burner assembly
as well as having the original top cut off to accommodate the incorrect burner.
The steel fount is 6 1/2" in diameter at the base and 4" high.
The valve and filler cap are exactly the same as on the Pitner Parlor Lamp
whereas the 6" high hand grip and fastening nut are a smaller version of that on the Pitner.
If anyone recognizes this lamp base, please contact Henry.

This lamp is badged as a Radiolite Mfg. Co., Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Model 4A
but is stamped Ulfers Mfg. Co, Freeport, Illinois, underneath the paper badge.

The kerosene burner of this torch-lit lamp features two horizonal
air intake tubes and takes a mantle that ties at the top and bottom.
