Cresolene Vapo Oil Lamp C 1880 - quack medical Here is a rare old oil lamp. This tiny little lamp comes with a stand, as well as a small tin dish is a Vapo Cresolene vapour lamp. The lamp was filled with oil or kerosene and the small tin dish you see would be filled with a product; (not included) called Cresolene.
The lamp would heat this gooey stuff and as it did, it produced the amazing cresolene vapours, which the maker claimed could be used to treat diphtheria, whooping cough and just about anything else. This seems like a product in the style of the cure all quack medicines, which were rife at that time in the U.S. At the very top of the stand there is some patent information, which dates the piece to the mid 1880s. The stand is 15.5cm in height. Everything is in very good condition, with no damage. A very collectible object and a great way to start a conversation.
Condition: used as found - good
