OT: Miniature Oil Lamp Auction

Since many fairy lamp collectors also collect miniture oil lamps, I thought I would pass along this auction.

The second half of the Carl Cotting collection of miniature lamps is set for 9:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 6th at the new Jeffrey Evans auction gallery in Mt. Crawford, Virginia. The auction consists of 450 lots; 250 lots of miniatures and 200 lots of whale oil and full size lamps. The auction is in Virginia but they accept absentee bids.

Good luck,

The auction that follows this one has a lot of three fairy lamps in it. It is lot #18 in the June 27th auction. I have attached a link to the lot below. Always keep an eye out as you will never know what can be found. This auction also has some nice "finger bowls" which you might also want to take a look at.
