Vintage (SHIPS?) Brass Paraffin Lamp /// R1 N/R ///

I am not 100% sure of anything here so will do my best to explain... The lamp is heavy and feels old. The glass is thick (unfortunately there is a small chip and a crack in it). It has 2 'handles' (one at the top and the other underneath), each with a loop for fastening or tying down. It seems that this is how it would be fastened to a mast... I have no idea of age or origin and have no idea of what it would sell for although, if it is in fact a vintage / antique ships lamp, would estimate its retail value at over R1000.  

Please note the following:

Postage is only done on Saturdays and only items where payment has been received by 07h00 on the saturday morning will be sent. Once posted, I will email you the tracking number. Postage rates start from R20 but will be confirmed after the auction has closed. Rates depend on weight.

Courier rates start at R80. I prefer this option as there are far less breakages. I send out via courier daily.

Collection in Sandton (5 minutes from Sandton City) is welcome. I do need 24 hours notice though.

Payment is to be received within 5 days of the auction closing unless a different arrangement has been agreed to.  This can be discussed after the auction has closed. I am generally very lenient but get frustrated when no correspondence is received from winning bidders. I reserve the right to relist an item after 5 days if I have not had any communication with the successful bidder.

I reserve the right to close auctions within 48 hours of a bid being placed. However, with R1 N/R auctions will inevitably let them run their course.

Enjoy bidding...
