  Trethaway Miniature Marking.jpg - TRETHAWAY MINIATURE - Miniature tin oil wick lamp, stamped on bottom TRETHAWAY BROS. PARSONS, PA, 1 1/4 in. tall to lid, 15/16 in. base dia. (Miniature oil wick lamps are highly sought after items with collectors. There is speculation that these miniature lamps were salesman samples from lamp manufacturers. That may be true but it seems to make little sense that samples would be made for the actual lamp that is only somewhat larger. It is much more likely that these little lamps were produced by manufacturers as promotional items or souvenirs for mining related events.)
