I bought this from an estate sale I'm trying to figure out some information on it all it says is Miller on the oil filler cap.

I also have an old Miller Lamp that I found years ago at a garage sale. Mine seems to have also undergone an "electric" face lift but wasn't finished. I love it and it sits on a shelf just as it is. I'm putting this link in for you. You may have already done some research and have seen this web page but just in case you haven't here it is http://www.edwardmillerkeroseneoillamps.com I learned quite a bit about the lamps from this and other sites.
The cord and socket look fairly modern. Within the last 60 years for them; the lamp is much older.
A lot of centre-draft lamps like this were easy to convert due to the wide-open space from the hollow tube running through them. Just yesterday I had commented that to another CW member. You see more centre-drafts like this converted, than you do those with a normal flat wick.
People just wanted an easy project for heirlooms and such to continue use.
