Antique CAST METAL Victorian OIL LAMP Base VERY HEAVY Hunting Scene STAG & DOG-$107
I’ve puzzled over this wonderfully bold cast metal lamp for a very long time. It’s done in deep relief and weighs 12 lbs. No part of it takes a magnet, so it isn’t cast iron, and it is waytoo heavy for Spelter or white metal. I’d be confident calling it bronze were it not for one little thing, which I’ll get to in a minute.
