COMPANY CINCINNATI, OHIO U.S.A.; new in box condition [The history of this lamp all starts with Arphad Snell who patented a lamp in 1911 and arranged with a fellow named Charles Hoppe to manufacture the lamp (Snell lamp) in his metal shop. Mr. Hoppe eventually moved to Cincinnati and made the Snell lamp for a couple years till Mr. Hoppe started manufacturing an improved lamp in 1914 called the Ever-Ready. Between 1914 and 1916, Mr. Hoppe produced a lamp called the Hoppe Brite-Lite that continued to evolve from the Ever-Ready. In 1916, the Harker Mfg. Co. bought out the Hoppe metal shop and continued to manufacture the Hoppe Brite-Lite. In 1917, Mr. Hoppe's name was dropped and the lamp was marked Harker Mfg. Co. Sometime during the early 1920's (not quite clear), the Harker lamps were phased out and that was that.]
