[QUOTE="bluemoon, post: 206553, member: 1296"]It's brass-painted spelter (is there a name for it? Bronzing?) and the column is assumingly onyx. There is dirt and residue inside the lamp where the fuel was. How do I clean it when I can't possibly reach most of it? The wick raiser is stuck. It's completely solid, doesn't move at all. I soaked the burner in olive oil but that didn't do anything. The wick is torn horizontally about halfway right below the burner and I'm not sure if I should try to remove it, or try to get the mechanism to work first.
