A real "must" for those collecting full sized kerosene lamps! Rating:  - great reference guideJust starting in the business, it's been a great source for information and pricing.. Thanks!!! Rating: - Double The PleasureThis is Ms. Thuro's companion book to Oil Lamps I. The focus here is on rare cased glass, colored glass and composite kerosene lamps and in combination with Oil Lmaps I, is a valued addition to a complete study of the kerosene lamp. 1998 Price Guide Rating: - Brilliant! Excellent Photographs and an Invaluable ReferenceOnly one week after purchasing this book I spotted an Oil Lamp in an antique shop in Bournemouth, England and I bought it at a bargain price knowing from reading this book that it was a 1904 German "Bismark" Lamp!
