Antique The Improved Bristol July 15, 1890 Kerosene Oil Lamp Flame Spreader
Gives you a steadier flame
This antique Bristol flame spreader fits a kerosene oil lamp and helps the wick burn more evenly. The metal piece is slim, with a dark aged finish and a cut shape that sits under the flame. You'd reach for it when restoring a period lamp or replacing a missing part.
Fits your vintage lamp work
Made for The Improved Bristol, July 15, 1890, it speaks to collectors who want the right detail, not just a stand-in. Small enough to handle easily. The edges are clean, the form simple, and the old hardware look makes sense on an original lamp body.
Checks the right details
Use it when you're matching antique lamp parts for display, repair, or study. It measures about the size you'd expect for a burner insert, and the worn surface shows its age without hiding the shape. A practical piece, if you know what to look for.
