"The New Rochester" model, a highly successful central-draft kerosene lamp originally patented in 1884 by Leonard Henkle and manufactured by Edward Miller & Co..
​Historical Significance: These lamps were famous for their revolutionary "central-draft" burner, which used a hollow tube in the center of the wick to create a brighter, "dazzling white" flame compared to standard lamps of that era.
​The "New" Version: The "New Rochester" model was an improvement on the original Rochester design, often featuring upgraded metalwork and ornate embossing like the scrolling patterns seen on your lamp's font (the metal section between the glass pieces).
