OIL FONT  devoid of fittings.  During the 1800s in North America, the whale oil lamp was the main source of illumination during the dark hours of the day.  These lamps produced as much smoke as light.

About 1850 the kerosene lamp was developed, but this too, was smoky up until about the time Christian Dorflinger emigrated to Brooklyn.  He was offered financial help to construct a glass factory to develop a chimney to reduce the smoke.

Strangely enough, this was also the first item to be made at the White Mills site.  Source:  Letter by Dwight Dorflinger, grandson of Christian Dorflinger.
