to restore and collect kerosene (paraffin) lanterns. Superior quality is safer.
1 of 1 found this helpful In learning this hobby, I learned, with certain risk, the importance of quality, to prevent accidents. A faulty, or poor quality wick, may cause uneven, flickering, flames. I have witnessed a plain old lantern, well maintained, with years of use, be fitted with bad wick, of substandard quality, and spontaneously catch fire, and consume itself. The fault mostly lies with poor quality material, and the product's absorption ability. I resort to this wick, over the red striped one, which is thicker, and will too often not even fit some burners. The purple, or is it, blue..? wick is, in my humble experience, better and easier to use.

Best quality is not an accident!
A simple, smartly elegant, and very useful, little tool.
Stainless steel construction, will not be affected by almost anything that you could pour through it.
Highly recommended equipment, if you seek a quality instrument, to enhance your toolbox... as we did.
We proudly use ours to add fuel to our vintage oil lanterns, which we restore and collect.

A nice little conversation piece.
0 of 1 found this helpful It also works. Nice to watch while having coffee with friends, it is smartly elegant. It enhances the look of your study room, or book shelves. Otherwise, it is fully functional, if only, obsolete in the XXI century, needing fuel to burn, a live flame, which is in itself, inherently fire hazard, each time it is lit....
So, as recommended forever... Never leave a lit oil lantern unattended..!
While enjoying its old world charm..! oil lamps were busted; Never to be trusted. Just enjoy its good looks..! Sinister as they are, yet splendidly nostalgic old contraption, that our grandparents used. I love mine!
