Using your oil lamp; you may purchase your lamps in this form without the burners on
them. The original burner on these are very scarce and sometimes they will be on there
but they elevate the price immensely. This with the original burner, the two prong pewter
burner that fits on here with the center wicks, those little burners alone can go from $75
to $125 just for the burner. So if you can't afford to buy one of those to put on here
the original lamp, the way you want to use it you can just add a number one burner either
old or new, very inexpensive, attach it to the collar and then you are good to go. All
you need to do is add fluid and if you buy very good lamp oil fluid, some people like
it in color and scented which they make today. I think this is a Pine scented and this one
is a lemon scented and you can also buy them in clear. The ultra refined oils are I find
the best. They burn with less smoke so I would recommend getting a good fuel oil to burn.
Pour it into the font before you put the burner on and soak up into the wick and the wick
is adjusted on the right side by adjusting this little ***. Raise and lower it. The
more you raise it, the higher flame you are going to get out of it and to finish off your
lamp, you are going to put a chimney and we tried to make the chimney in proportion with
the
lamp. Here are really two good examples of the right proportion of your chimney on your
whale oil lamp and then you are good to go.
