    I bought and restored the Cable houses in Hearts Content, Newfoundland Canada. Built in 1882. I found this lamp in one of the rooms.
    Can anyone explain in detail how it is supposed to work and what type of fuel it takes.
    Thanks

    Hello, it's a gravity fed lamp and the link below shows the relevant gallery pages and as far as I know the fuel was petrol / gasoline.
