Small Oil Lamp

[Firpo]

Was at an estate sale down the road and snagged this Wingedwheel No 350 oil lamp from what appears to be the 1950s if my Google-Fu skills are working. It was in really rough shape but looked like if shown a little love I could get her back in running order once again. It's 7" tall, I know it's hard to tell without anything in the image for reference. When I got it half the paint was gone, it was filthy and had that sticky oil residue all over and it had several 2" Muddobber nests covering the poor thing both inside and out. I don't know why but I'm fascinated by these little things.

I know there are some reproductions that have been produced recently.

We have a couple oil lamps around just in case we ever need them. I also have a couple of old Coleman green lanterns.

I love oil lamps and lanterns. I have a small collection of them. My favorite is a tiny one found in my grandparents home after they passed. It’s about 6 inches tall.

Those are nice. I’d like to get me some old oil lamps. I’ve always liked them. My grandma had some when I was a kid. I don’t know what happened to them when my grandparents died.

Pretty sure this one is not a repro….well maybe it was 70 years ago. This one had been sitting in an old barn for Lord only knows how long.

If you find one with a round wick, grab it, they really put out some light
