Antique Navigation Light Kerosene Oiler or Oil Can for Refueling the Single and Dual Oil Burners Found on both River/Coastal and Blue Water/Ocean Navigation Lights. Great Item for the Antique Navigation Light Collector! - #26

Folks, this Oiler is "old", handcrafted exactly like the early nautical navigation lights, and not machine stamped or machine spot welded. Note the specially designed twist cap that has an apron or hood around it so as to prevent water from inadvertently seeping in with the oil during heavy seas and weather. It has the original baling wire and wooden handle and still has the original navy gray paint on it. Besides a small bump or two this is in ideal museum quality condition without any holes or rusted out areas. 11.25" high x 6" wide and holds 1 Gallon.

Note the large hood or flange on the screwcap. This was to help prevent any water from inadvertantly getting into the oiler and mixing with the kerosene. Most containers made specifically to be used aboard ship in a nautical environment 'back in the day' had this hood or sleeve as part of the screwcap.

Please Read. First, these are the real deal vintage and antique navigation lights used aboard commercial merchant vessels and naval ships, with most dating between 50 and 110 years old well before even the most rudimentary safety standards were in place. Most of these navigation lights, lamps, and lanterns are kerosene oil burners and some have been retro-fitted and electrified to use a standard 60W, 110V 15amp household light. As with any antique or vintage item there is no warranty as to safety or workmanship meeting contemporary standards. As is our standard procedure, this navigation light has been tested and found to be functional. Odorless testing oil has been drained from the oil reservoir after testing but small amounts may still be present which could present a fire hazard. The oil burner will be shipped with wick already placed within the oil burner. Any electrification or modifications done to this item will not be in accordance with any UL testing or adherence and may present an electrical hazard. The item is being sold "as is" and may require re-wiring or electrical inspection by a qualified electrician at the purchasers expense and liability. Caution must be taken when operating any of these oil burning lights due to the inherent fire hazard of the flammable liquid and potential spills. Note that this naval or nautical navigation light was originally meant to be used with a flammable liquid (kerosene) and regularly maintained aboard a ship at sea on a daily basis by sailors familiar with this type of equipment. It is considered to be antique and its actual use as designed in a contemporary home environment presents a potential electrical or fire hazard which The Pirate's Lair cannot be made responsible. By purchasing this item the purchaser accepts full responsibility and liability of the operation and maintenance of this navigation light.
