Description: Antique Rayo Round Wick Kerosene 12” Nickel Plated Oil Lamp Pat. D. Nov 2094 Mar Rayo 24.98 Feb.28.05-Fast Shipping! This vintage lamp is in fair condition and does not include a Chimney. The burner seems to be in good working order. Following is some history on the lamp and burner which I hope you find as interesting as I did. This lamp will be a great conversation piece in your decor, even in your man cave, due to its history. The flame spreader’s first patent was in November 1894, called “Perfection” which were initially made under contract with the Standard Oil Co. One story is you got a free Rayo lamp, like this one, if you bought 15 gallons of Standard Oil kerosene. The Trademark for the name RAYO remained active under Eastern Standard, Esso, Humble Oil and lastly Exxon Corp. until 1988. The Rayo was a round wick central draft lamp as were all the lamp makers, such as Pittsburgh Lamp, Plume & Atwood, Rochester, Edw. Miller, etc. The Rayo needs 30 minutes to an hour to REALLY warm up & produce good light, after that the flame can be turned up as high as 2 to 3” – (if you aren’t concerned about breaking the chimney)! The Rayo is considered a fuel hog by today’s collectors, which likely served the purposes of Standard Oil, its sponsor, quite well! Dimensions Height- 12” Width- 6 ¼” Weight- 2 lbs.
