I'm ready to get an oil lamp and have past experiences with the rather common (and expensive!) Weems and Plath.
I was watching this video and came across a really neat cylindrical style, but cannot find it anywhere on the web. Has anyone seen this or know of a source to purchase from? Thanks!
(see 15:15-15:30 (the whole video is well worth watching)):

Can anyone help me locate this brass lantern?

It looks a lot like the E.S. Sorensen Ships Lamp.
Take a look here: https://www.essorensen.com/shipslamp2.html
I'm a big fan of brass kerosene lanterns. i don't have one of these, I only have a couple of Perko lanterns.

That's the one! Thanks for connecting the dots for me... I found a separate site that lists the smoke bell, which makes the set complete as shown in the video. A little large in scale for my 22' CD, though.
I've tried and tried to locate Perko lanterns, but seem to strike out on a complete one that's not overpriced on 'boutiquey' websites.
