![]() The Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass & Glass Company
![]() "Success" oil lamps were manufactured by the Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass and Glass Company of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The company was often referred to as Pilabrasgo, a contraction of their name. They produced many variations of ornate parlor style lamps and hanging lamps with the Success burners. Their hanging lamps were made in the 'conventional' pull-down style with a ceiling extension as well as a model with a telescoping rod. This is an example of one of their (nickel plated ) brass table lamps similar to a Rayo but much more gracefully engineered with the Success burner. The base of this lamp is weighted and it really is a well functioning lamp. The Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass & Glass Company was assigned at least five lighting-related patents between August 28, 1900 and March 21, 1916.
