<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 214656, member: 44&quot;]Hmmmm, it didn&#039;t start life as a Bouillotte lamp. At birth it was strictly a 4 spout whale oil lamp. Sometime later someone not only converted it to electricity, but also repurposed it to resemble a Bouillotte lamp. The original spout lamp looked like this. Yours seem to still have some of the hanging tools.</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-18th-19th-c-Brass-Whale-Oil-Burning-Lamp-2-Wick-with-Tools/282368070273?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&amp;_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D41393%26meid%3D5e6f98265b224e90964479db816e58ee%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D182432953402" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-18th-19th-c-Brass-Whale-Oil-Burning-Lamp-2-Wick-with-Tools/282368070273?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&amp;_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D41393%26meid%3D5e6f98265b224e90964479db816e58ee%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D5%26sd%3D182432953402" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Antique-18th-19th-c-Brass-Whale-Oil-Burning-Lamp-2-Wick-with-Tools/282368070273?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&amp;_trkparms=aid=222007&amp;algo=SIC.MBE&amp;ao=1&amp;asc=41393&amp;meid=5e6f98265b224e90964479db816e58ee&amp;pid=100011&amp;rk=3&amp;rkt=5&amp;sd=182432953402</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Nowwww some people have successfully repurposed these spout lamps.
