    Hi all, Hope your new years is going well so far.
    I have this little 4" diameter bright brass oil lamp.
    I know the burner was made by Gaudard in France, But the base of the lamp reads made in Wales U.K.?
    This can't be very old as it is so clean?

    The English like the French burners or vice versa.

    A little factual information.
    Paraffin sold in the U.K. is Kerosene
    Paraffin sold in the U.S. is liquid candle wax.

    And then, there's liquid paraffin which is given to cats for furballs. And people for being bunged up.

    Don't ever use either one in an oil lamp. Especially the furball one. Lol
