Thank you, I don't have it listed. Got a belated birthday wish from my friends in Deming, NM tonight. They wanted to send me a fancy electric can opener and I declined as I have 2 manual can openers and 2 church keys. It's hard to get a gift for someone who is a prepper. I own 6 oil lamps and will always welcome a new one and even a vintage one.

Just saw this post. Oil Lamps , I have over 19 all over this place . Was heavy into the collection , till all the flea markets were selling new clothes ect . Instead of antiques. Some day I need to clean them up and put them together.

I stopped going to flea markets years ago !..Now they are new Chinese product markets …… if I wanted to buy that stuff I would just go to Harbor freight and avoid the middleman..

Many of them are worth money, if you have some made out of custard glass, uranium glass, cadmium glass & selenium glass.

Because when they are exposed to black light or UV light will glow. I have 2 from the late 1800s, one from the 1940s, a double bubble and 2 current lamps.

Most of mine are from early 20th century before Thomas Edison. Don’t think any are from Little House on the prairie days .

Most of the rare glass ones are from the 20th century. Whale oil lamps are even older, here's some history: https://connecticuthistory.org/connecticut-domestic-oil-lamp-makers/
