KYSO (Kentucky Standard Oil) Lamp

I am looking for information on the KYSO (Kentucky Standard Oil)
lamp. It is almost a copy of the RAYO except for the markings on the
flame spreader and the oil filler cap. Like to find someone who has
one that would sell it.

Dave: Not quite a "copy" (although very similar, and certainly the
same operating principle), if the image I have seen is the correct
lamp. Only seen the ONE image, so don't know. The burner looks like a
slotted Rayo, but with a different galley. The font seems fuller,
rounder, and the foot has Miller (or P&A) cloverleafs on it. The
tripod part that remains is definately Miller. Educated guess is that
Miller made the lamp in the image, but don't really know that
anything but the FS (that looks like P&A made it...held together with
tabs like the Banner) and filler cap are KYSO. I can't even send you
the image...it's proprietary (to be used in a book by the owner, I
think), else it would have been in The Rayo Book! Sorry. :: Fil ::
