Review on 🪔 6 ft Roll of Flat Cotton Oil Lamp Mate Wick with Purple Stitch, Ideal for Oil Lanterns and Oil Lamps - 7/8" Inch by Victoria Robinson

I have a couple of very old oil lamps and one of them had no wick. I measured the opening and concluded that a 7/8" wick is needed, so I placed my order. The wick came quickly and was well packaged. I cut off a roll about 8 cm long and put the wick in the lamp together with the new lamp oil. The wick fits perfectly. Then I let the oil rise to the top of the wick for about 15 minutes and then came the moment of truth. I touched the wick with a lucky match and BINGO - I had a light. I let it run for about 30 minutes to make sure everything was working properly and the lamp was reliable. To be honest, I enjoyed playing with the lamp and watching the light flicker in the dark, but it doesn't sound as analytical as a reliability test. It's not my only source of light in the event of a power outage, but it may be the most interesting. Do not be shy. Buy it and enjoy the light of the flickering flame just like your grandparents once did.
