Standing approximately 5 inches from base to burner top, this attractive little chimneyless oil lamp is an example of a transition from the similarly sized double wick camphene lamps of the 1850s . Despite wide continued use of the volatile camphene lamps through the mid-19th century, by the time of the Civil War the U.S. Patent Office had recorded nearly 250 different patents for all manner of lamps, wicks, burners, and fuels to meet consumer demand for less volatile, clean illumination. The tube wick lamp offered a departure from the dangerous mixture of turpentine, alcohol, and camphor oil (camphene) lamp. . Buy with confidence! We are pleased to offer a no questions asked three day inspection with return as purchased on direct sales! Just send us a courtesy e-mail to let us know your item will be returned per these provisions and your purchase price will be refunded accordingly. Thanks for visiting Gunsight Antiques!
