My 1910s Dietz Bestov Hand Lamp. It may not be an everyday use item, but it's always good to have a backup light source around. This particular one has stood the test of time, and is still in near mint condition.lotr5693 OP t1_iybt8a6 wrote

Yeah, oil lamps are great tools for emergency situations. When the power goes out, flashlights are nice, but might not always work. An oil lamp will never fail you unless it gets physically broken. You can fill an oil lamp with fuel, and leave it for 50 years. Then when you go to light it, it will still work.
Aladdin Lamps are where it's at with kerosene emergency lighting. They put out the same amount of light as a 75 watt light bulb.
