Grease Lamp?
« on: December 07, 2009, 08:12:02 PM »
A couple of years ago I read an article that mentioned a grease or Betty lamp. It named the maker that sold them, a neat little copper cup with about three spouts where you could hang the wicks out of. The lamp was of a nice quality, simple and hung from a hand made triple chain that was reasonably priced. It may have been a Mark Baker article, but I couldn't find it in my stack of MB and ML magazines. Can anyone suggest a maker of this type of lamp that would have them for sale?

There are quite a number of sources. These are worth a look:

Use "betty lamp" as a search term on Google. Lots--tin, copper, iron, etc.
