In Early American days before kerosene, camphene lamps provided light and fragrance. Camphene is an explosive mixture of turpentine and alcohol, with camphor oil added for fragrance. We recommend using modern lamp oil, which will burn much more safely! The burner that holds the wick can be unscrewed to replace lamp oil and wicking. Use caution when burning!
