Item Description
7-5/8" long with identical image on each side and with the company name along the bottom of the handle area. Celluloid has a couple of tiny rubs and a 1/16" tan mark on one side but the other side displays cleanly with just very light surface wear. This item was produced shortly after Alfred Humphrey opened his General Gaslight Company in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1901 to market a revolutionary inverted arc gaslight. VF and rare.
