You are right , they used to take a lot more pride in the way things like this looked , it was not just functional , it was a piece of furniture and was made to look good while performing its function. Take a look at victorian waterworks in england, they are amazing inside , they took pride even in things like that

Notice how back in the day the detail and ornateness they put into making things. And we're made to last, otherwise you would not have been able to restore it like new. Things made today do not last, because they are designed not to last that when they break you will have to buy another one. It's all about the money now not quality. 👍

I inherited a standing mixer from my grandmother. It has a glas pitcher. I'm 52 and it's at least as old as I am, but still works perfectly. I know that's not as old as the heater, just an example of how durable stuff used to be made.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you. If you are looking for a circular metal piece, I think it's the upper part of the original lamp glass. I did not use it, but I fixed it somewhere in the stove. It can then be used if the original glass is found. I wanted to apply gold leaf to the feet of the stove, but I gave up when I could not see such an ornament in the original photos.

[@nunyabizness199]

Very nice.. And to take a rusted old thing that most would over look, and return it to being a beautiful useful appliance is good..! Sometimes the hardest thing in what we do, is to have to wait for the paint to dry..😏

Artistic/functional comments: Beautifully done. This is an impressive piece that really looks great when it is cleaned and polished. Your skills are amazing.... Technically, there was a lot of cringing and dis-belief. Screwdriver blades should be as wide as the screw head, not that narrow little tip you used.... Using an adjustable wrench for a tinsmiths hammer should be illegal. It was painful to watch. Also, using the correct type of old-fashioned rivets would certainly be preferable. BUT..!!! all nit-picking and whining aside - great job with this restoration.....

[@brIceni-x4w]

Nice job. If you or others use the lamp or lamps like it, I hope a bit of advice from my experience will be of some help.. You will benefit from a more pleasing performance by using a chimney specifically designed for this type of burner and flame spreader. The flame will look and behave very differently whilst emitting more heat and being a lot more economical by burning less wick and/or paraffin/kerosene. Be careful to start the flame low and only raise gradually so the chimney isn't heat shocked. It will crack, it happens a lot. Ensure an even flame all around by charring the top of the wick and using a wick cleaner or alternatively, by running your finger lightly around the top of the wick in one direction until it's level all the way around. Not doing so will result in spikes of flame that will have multiple adverse affects such as not being able to utilise the maximum flame as the flame spikes will shoot out of the chimney and/or create soot and long before the rest of the wick is burning at maximum. When you see sparks flying up the chimney, it means your wick is burning instead of the paraffin. Old wicks do not perform very well. There are still new ones being widely manufactured.

This appears to be more heater than lamp? I would suspect the original wicks would have had an higher asbestos content and behaved more like a gas mantle when they burned. It initially burnt pure white but rapidly yellowed with a more prevalent blue flame. Great effort none the less as many of these heaters would have been scrapped in that condition.

[@Restomaniac]

Thank you very much for your attention and valuable comments.

[@hasannaci]

Excellent, nicely done. great video, I need to ask. did you not use the broken ring that goes around the wick, just curious.

[@Restomaniac]

Hello, thank you very much. There was a metal mesh on the original glass. That ring is the top part of the metal mesh. Since there was no such mesh on the new glass, I did not use that piece. You can view the original glass at the following link: www.nationaltrustcollections.org.uk/object/835487
