Subject: Oil lamp identification

Question
I have had these lamps for some time. I recieved them from a friend who had recieved them from their mother. My friend said they are old, but I have had a hard time identifying them.

Answer
Hello Joan,

Thankyou for your question.

What you have are not kerosene oil lamps.  They would appear (and I say only 'appear') to be chemistry equipment of some kind.

I suggest that you show the photograph to a chemist to see if they can shed light on the subject.

Regards

Stuart
