#2 Brass-Plated Oil Lamp Burners are replacement Queen Anne style burners fitting many vintage oil lamps. Economically priced. Side turn knob winds wick up and down within burner. Burner includes cotton wick.
These burners are brass-plated with a shiny finish. They have coarser threads than brass burners. We recommend using a brass-plated burner if collar is brass-plated or if collar is brass then use a brass burner. Occasionally threads on some old lamps may be a little worn making compatibility between burner and collar challenging.
Oil Lamp Guide
- Only use "lamp oil" as a fuel source. Other oil types can cause fires and/or damage oil burners.
- Leave at least a ½ inch of head-space when filling up your oil lamp.
- Keep lamp reservoir half full so that wick stays properly saturated
- Oil lamps burn approximately ½ ounce of lamp oil per hour.
- Trim off charred edge of wick after every couple uses. If charred residue is not kept trimmed, wick will likely smoke and provide dim light.
- Replace lamp chimney once lamp is lit to protect flame from drafts.
- Oil lamps are only for indoor use.
- Caution: A burning oil lamp should not be left unattended. Lamps should be placed out of the reach of children.
