The iron lamp was hammered out of one piece of Iron iu a stone mold. This was usually done by the blacksmith, and the molds are still to lie seen In museums, In the bands of private col lectors and no doubt at some of the country blacksmiths’ shops. They are of one uniform shape, with some slight varieties. The lamp consists of two cups, one suspended above and Inside tho other. The suspender is so fixed nnd notched as to euaJde. the upper cup, which holds the <v't and wick, to no shifted to keep the oil constantly In contact with the wick.
