carbide lamps and oiler

[rmckin]

Hi
I found these back in the Summer at a long lost coal camp dumpsite. The lamp on the left is a Guy's Dropper, on right is an Auto Lite. The Guy's Dropper was made after 1925, Don't know about the AutoLite.

Oiler, canister only. Made by Maple City MFG Co, Monmouth,Ill. The Maple City Mfg plant burned in 1917. Too bad the spout is gone.

No value, but interesting

Cool embossed logo on the oiler

I guess it's a stamped logo...

Nice finds, I also really like that stamped oil canister.

Around these parts the stoneware from Monmouth, IL is pretty ubiquitous. There were several producers over time but the most iconic used a very similar logo:
