Lucas Silver King Kerosene Bicycle lamp

Nice object and a beautiful name plate. I wondered if it was an acetylene lamp, but internet says kerosene. I can't imagine it producing more than a warm glow.

Thanks, Kevan!

Isn’t “warm glow” a noted trait of Lucas head lights?

Bad reputation even before electric head lights.

Here's a similar one, sellingantiques.co.uk/642608/lucas-silver-king-paraffin-cycle-lamp

It's labeled "Petroleum" and the photos show the wick adjustment mechanism.
