Vintage Three Star Company Amber Glass Outdoor Oil Lamp | Made in Japan | Mini Kerosene Lantern with Reflector

This is a vintage Three Star Company outdoor oil lamp, made in Japan and dating to the early–mid 20th century. Three Star Company lamps were produced primarily for export and are known for their durable construction, quality amber glass, and practical design for outdoor or utility use.

The lamp features an amber glass font marked “Three Star Brand – Made in Japan”, paired with a metal burner assembly and a small round reflector. Its compact size and sturdy form indicate it was intended for outdoor, camping, or utility lighting, rather than formal indoor use.

This piece is an excellent example of Japanese export lighting from the postwar era and displays beautifully in primitive, farmhouse, Americana, or lantern collections.
