      I have two lamps that look very similar, colored white and blue. They use a two-inch by nine-inch chimney. The surviving chimney (I cracked the other many years ago) is a simple cylinder without any flare. I now suspect this was not the original design for the chimney, as it makes the flame come very close to the glass. The intact chimney is made of very old-looking glass with many imperfections. I may buy new chimneys that include a flare near the bottom, which seems to be the usual design.
