Nice.

I'll stick with my $5.95 and probably 15 years old

Yours looks better though.

plateboater - Looks good to me. I had to go to 2 different craft stores before i found the flat/wide wicks that fit my lamp. Tried some that were not as wide as the original ones and they did not put off as much heat.

Radtexan - I started out using candles and then switched to a different oil lamp like you show... bet i melted 6-8 heads right off the hooks. Could never seem to get the right distance from the flame. Having the glass globe gives me the same distance each time and creates a funnel for the heat, and i have not melted one off using it. When i have the flame adjusted how i want, it usually takes a 6-count for heads under 1/4th. I also use it for adding solder to mini spoons/blades and that does take additional time to get them up to a temp to melt the solder.

Roger where do ya get the replacement wicks? I went thru mine pretty quick! Seems like it came with extras but think they grew legs.

Hobb Lobby has wicks normally.

RnD.....the mason jar style is cheaper and pending size of jar can hold a lot of fuel. For under $10 going to purchase a few more just to have when power goes. Good price. Good heat for tapping now time for some tapping soon.
