Hurricane lamps to set the mood or save the day!

Hurricane lamps fueled by lamp oil, or clear glass hurricane lamps with candles are a safety measure for when electricity fails. A hurricane lamp can also be a fashion statement, can give soft light for a romantic ambiance, and can enchance the decor of a country-style home. In the darkness of a winter night, a brightly lit hurricane lamp is a most welcome sight!

    I have several oil lamps that belonged to my grandparents and my husband's grandparents. Recently, I shared some of them with my own children. They are great to have when the lights go out any time of year. Blessings.

    We have several old Kerosene oil lamps on hand, but I had no idea there were so many models available for sale. Thanks for the information. You have given me an inspiration for my next antique event.

    We should all have back-up plans for when services fail.

    I have several hurricane lamps, they are so cozy to use. Mine are all antique collectables, but they still burn nice. They do make some nice ones these days too.

    The green one is my favorite. I used to have a couple of Hurricane lamps with different colors of oil. They make a nice romantic setting for an evening at home without the kids. ;)

    We had a few of those old lamps when I was growing up.
    I always loved them.

    My husband has a small collection of old kerosene lamps. I have to keep them dusted. A couple of them are very pretty, though.
