Rider Triple Air Mantle Lamps

The Rider mantle lamp is a member of a family of almost identical mantle lamps that the Edward Miller & Co. Mantle Lamp Department manufactured for other companies. The Rider lamp was manufactured for the A. G. Kaufman Mfg, CO. on 94 Chambers St. and 83 reade St. New York City. The company also made glass shades, chandlers, bunsen burners and a line of pressurized Kerosene lamps.

The Rider Triple air mantle lamp was available as a table lamp and a fount lamp.

The Rider Triple Air CO2 Generator. This is a unique patented design only used on the Rider mantle lamps. The inner draft tube indent for anchoring the flame spreader is in the same location as the Miller family mantle lamps that use a thimble type flame spreader.

Diagnostic of a Rider Triple air table lamp base is that the inner wick tube extends through the lamp stem an is attached at the top of the lamp foot. All the other Miller family of mantle lamps have the center draft tube connected at the base of the kerosene bowl.

The Rider triple air flame spreader will fit correctly in most of the other miller family lamp founts but it evidently needs that extra long inner wick tube to function correctly.
