Hey silversurfer.

That Plume & Atwood burner is in remarkably good condition. The Fireside was patented 1873.

"The FIRESIDE Burner, patented on
Feb. 11, 1873 which incorporated
an earlier Nov. 26, 1872 patent"
The Plume & Atwood Manufacturing Company - The Lampworks​

What's the flipside of that spiderweb looking device look like? Any spiders present?

I always liked your comic persona.

The little buckle that you found is a suspender buckle. Good find!

..yes,it is....looks like one Steve in Pa posted just yesterday,that has a Patent date of 1850....but what is even cooler,is yours still has the ring attached to the hook tab!Out of 50 or so of these I have dug....very few still have had the ring attached


I can not find a patent listing for what is marked on my one example that resembles Steves,which is 1850.However,I did find an improvement patent for the suspender clamp design....in 1871
