More Information
It has been brought to our attention that there is an almost obliterated stamp on this piece that suggest it is definitely by Benson. There are faults and losses around the burner. The stops on the bayonet fitting have been replaced with philips head steel screws (see images). The burner is stuck fast into the tank. The stand is good. The shade, probably later, is in good condition, as is the chimney.
