Giving Your Home That Special Touch!
i have an antique floor lamp. i’ve had the socket replaced and now have to splice it to the rest of the power cord. i’m tired of waiting for my husband to do it so i’m doing it myself. please don’t say leave it alone if you don’t know how, i’m very handy and mechanical,just never done this before. i know it’s simple, i just need a bit of info. how much cord cover do i strip and which wire goes to which?
Hey I would like to ask, this is for my little bro, are there any cheats on runescape? Or at least a thing that would boost up your levels? Not the standard way. My little bro once got this antique lamp that boosted a level by 2,500 xp.
I have an electrified antique hanging oil lamp that I’m installing in our new home. The lamp’s light bulb socket does not have a ground wire, but the wiring to the ceiling junction box does have a ground wire. I connected the ground wire to a screw (not 1 of the 2 for +/-) on the bulb socket (very old), now the circuit breaker opens when the wall switch is turned on. Is the ground wire connection the problem? Should I ignore the 3rd wire (ground) in the ceiling, because we didn’t have a ground wire circuit in our previous older home where we used this lamp before, or should I replace the light bulb socket with a new one that has a ground wire terminal? Thanks for your help!
i have two antique stanley home table lamps and cannot find any information on them. from what i hear they are from the old stanley home parties and were given as hostess gifts. i have two, fairly large, and very retro. very unattractive to be honest. lol. they have a tree like trunk base that is ivory color and the top is a very retro 2 layere circle shade that is almost like a paper or a leather? and has brown stitching with white and black half circle retro pattern on it. does anyone know where i can get more info on these? id like to ‘spice them up a bit’ but dont want to take away from their value, if any.
I have some antique lamps that I want to sell and I want to get good for them. What do I need to do? How do I go about getting them on ebay?
and don’t want to get less than what they are worth. I don’t really have alot of money and that is why I am trying to sell them, so I would like to research first. I know they are worth alot of money, they belonged to my ex-mother-in-law when she was a child and her family was very rich.I also have some other items that i would like to find out the value of but don’t really have a clue how to look them up as they are unmarked. As I said I am in dire need of money to move as I am being evicted and need to get as much as I can for them. I am a big fan of antiques roadshow, cash in the attic, etc but I don’t have time to wait for all that. Please help me if you can. Thanks in advance
I know how to render tallow, and that you can add things (such as stearic acid) to harden it. But how do you get an oil from it? Is there just an additive you can use to keep it in liquid form? I frequently enjoy the ambiance of antique oil lamps, as well as candles, and would like to find a way to make my own oil. If there is a similar process to follow between making the two, naturally I’d want to go that route for the sake of simplicity. And obviously, it doesn’t need to be combustible. In fact, that would be quite unpleasant. I’m aware of the method of just using the fat in the lamp and warming it up every time I want to use it, but I’d rather not use such a cumbersome technique.
I have an old antique oil lamp but I’m not exactly sure how to use it.
It has a screw on cap with a peice of TALL glass that sits inside the cap and covers the wick.
Can someone tell me how to use this?
I know that I fill it with oil that I got at walmart in the candle section for oil lamps and hurricane lamps. but, how do I do the wick?
do I completely soak it in oil before putting it in the wick feeder or do I just put a SMALL part of it in the oil?
any instructions in photos on how to use it would be great. 
Thanks.
Thank you all for your answers!!
