    Not really sure about this item. Been in my possession for about 30 years; always thought it was a whale oil lamp, but not sure of that or its period.

      Just wondering what I have - whale oil lamp? - what period?

      Hello,
      Out of curiosity, does the burner screw into the reservoir? If so, what is the diameter of the opening? I have a miniature whale oil lamp (was considered a night light) with a 7mm threaded opening. Wondering if I'll ever find the burner type to fit this.
      Thanks.
