Double burner brass oil lamp in perfect working order.
A double burner brass oil lamp in lovely condition and perfect working order. It has new wicks and a replacement glass chimney. There is a lever on the side that brings a cover over the wicks. Not sure exactly what this is for, which is possibly to extinguish the flame (although you can do this by lowering the wicks with the height adjuster knobs) or it might be there just protect the top of the wicks and stop them drying out. I have tried to show this mechanism in the photos. I'm not sure how old it is but it appears to have had little use so my guess is that it's a modern reproduction. I rescued it from the local recycling centre about 8 years ago, gave it a clean, fitted new wicks, a chimney and some lamp oil to get it working. It has stood on a shelf unused ever since. It could do with a clean and polish but I can't stand polishing brass, which is why it's for sale! Very sorry but I will not risk sending this by courier, it has to be collected TA4 4DW Read More
