Lamplight Farms 12-1/2-Inch Prince Charles Kerosene Oil Lamp

Yes the lamps could be nicer but then they would cost a whole lot more. For less than $20 bucks this is a fantastic lamp. Though quality and your mileage may vary. I bought one to test and then bought a dozen more. Some of which have been sold to friends. Kerosine and even diesel fuel can be used but both are a PITA so just get real lamp oil. It's about $4.60 for a half gallon at my local wally world. With real lamp oil there is no soot, or smoke, and plenty of light for far less cost than candles. The metal base will not shatter and the handle is handy as can be. Cheap peace of mind and the nickeled steel is very corrosion resistant.

The lamp looks OK and functions fine. That written, the holding stem has sharp edges that will require sanding. The fabricator should vest in a bit of sandpaper to clean up the edges.

For the price a fine lamp. Shallow fuel tank/base makes for low center of gravity and a wetted wick.
Keeps steady flame without needing constant adjustment. I'm buying more.
