| Lamp Oil vs Kerosene
I've got a couple of very nice oil lamps that were just overhauled and refinished. The fellow that did the refinishing suggested that I use kerosene rather than the commercial lamp oil. Ordinarily I'd take it as presented but this rather elderly gentleman also told me that one of my lamps had not been made in 80 years. Not true - still for sale today. In other words, he is not an oil lamp expert but an expert on refinishing brass. (Fantastic job). I thus appeal to the forum for some input. He thought the kerosene burned brighter and with less heat than lamp oil. What are your opinions? Rich |
