    Sorry to bother you like this but I have an oil lamp that is shaped like a coronet and requires a double chimney.
    No one has any idea of where the lamp is from or where I can get a replacement chimney.
    If you have the time could you possibly help?
    Thank you for your time and consideration.

  Donna: A "double chimney?" No wonder folks are baffled! I will definately need an image before I'll venture a guess. If you can provide any markings on the burner, that would help. You might have a two-cone Shaffer burner from the late 1880's and 90's...two wicks and deflector cones on the same "platform"...they take ONE chimney: the later versions a standard (either #1 or #2) slip chimney, the earlier ones a "lip" chimney (held in place by a set screw, rather than crown-like prongs). I'm going to post this on the Q&A Page so it doesn't get lost! :: Fil ::
