    I just recently purchased this oil lamp and would love to find out more information about its history (age,brand ). It is in excellent condition. No numbers or name that I can make out, just symbols. Any info would be of great help.

      The name is "Kosmos-Brenner" which is printed on the lamp in the fourth photo. This was made in Germany. "Brenner" means "burner".
