This lot features an assortment of vintage items including two oil lamps, an electric table lamp, and a fuel container. The first item is a portable fuel or oil storage can manufactured by Valor. It is constructed from pressed metal with a green-painted finish and features the embossed name VALOR on the side. The can retains its original screw-top cap and fixed pouring spout. The second item is a wall-mounted sconce-style oil lamp. It is composed of a grey-toned metal body, a tall straight cylindrical glass chimney, and a conical metal hood reflector. The underside of the base is stamped with a circular mark reading ENGLISH MAKE above a globe symbol and REGD below. The third item is a table oil lamp featuring a metal base and burner mechanism with a bulbous clear glass chimney. The underside of the base contains a stamped circular maker’s mark with the words MADE IN ENGLAND partially visible around the edge. The final item is an electric table lamp with a simple wooden stem and base. It is fitted with a brown two-core flex, a modern white UK 3-pin plug, and a white plastic bayonet (B22) bulb socket. As an electrical item, it is sold as a decorative object and must be PAT tested by a qualified electrician before use.
Condition report:
The items show various degrees of age-related wear. The Valor fuel can exhibits significant paint loss, surface oxidation, and general denting consistent with industrial use. The wall-mounted oil lamp has a dull, aged patina to the metal surfaces and a dusty glass chimney. The table oil lamp shows heavy oxidation, tarnish, and surface corrosion on the metal base, though the glass chimney appears intact. The wooden table lamp is in fair condition but is sold as an untested decorative item requiring professional electrical safety checks.
