Only 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!

This 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

This book is by far a favorite of mine personally. It covers in great detail the incredible cased glass lamps by the likes of Boston Sandwich and others. I found the price guide easy to use for what its worth. Clear sharp photos. A must for the appraiser.

Just starting in the business, it's been a great source for information and pricing.. Thanks!!!

An absolutely beautiful reference book with many, many color photos. Even the rest of my family (who aren't really into lamps) enjoyed looking through the book and oohhing and ahhing at the beautiful examples.

I have all the Thuro books and this one is no exception - it is outstanding for the collector and/or researcher. The descriptions are clear and it contains great photos!

Wonderful photographs of rare and not so rare old lamps along with a great education on their production. A real "must" for those collecting full sized kerosene lamps!
