I have acquired the Meteor hanging lamp, by Royal, does anyone know
where I may find additional information as to history and parts
available?

Gerry: "Royal" is a Plume and Atwood burner Tradename. The Royal
burner uses a wick that is still available, and a standard #2 or #3
chimney. I couln't find reference to "Meteor" in the one P&A
catalogue I have, but it is likely the Trade name of the lamp
assembly. As I recall, the Royal burner presents some challenge in
installing the wick, but once replaced (assuming all the "innards"
holding it in place and allowing adjustment are there, the lamp
should burn OK. I believe I had to thin the wick somewhat by removing
vertical threads until it easily cleared the space allowed (the
modern wicks are thicker than the old ones). :: Fil Graff ::
