Ok, this is a super cool dandie! When we first spotted this on the shelf, we thought it was a hurricane lamp, we loved the shape of the glass lampshade, and we recognized the brand: Towle made in Germany.
We thought it was likely oil powered (like most hurricane lamps.) When we got it home, we had a puzzle on our hands, though. We realized it was a candlestick holder (because of some wax left behind), but it was spring loaded? A little research told us that the spring moves the candlestick up as it burns so that its always at the right length for the holder. How cool is that? We added a candle to test it out and it fits!
This feels fairy lamp adjacent to us. The glass covering is tinted yellow and the base is silverplated and in very good shape--very little tarnish and it shines!

Dimensions: ~10 1/2"H x ~6"W (at its widest)
This is a pre-loved, vintage dandie in great condition; we note no chips or cracks in the glass and the silverplating is fairly tarnish free. We added a candle for you to light as soon as you get it!
