To properly handle this lamp as a kid required skills. How to remove the glass, clean it and replace it without breaking it. How to role the rope through that narrow hole, twisting as you pushed it and to fill the tank without spilling any kerosene.
How to gently lift and chock the small opening just to light the flame and the most difficult task was how to gently release the chock afterwards. This final stage could either kill the flame or break the glass. Well, most children in the 90s got their first mark after unsuccessful executing this from their mother’s.
That’s some skills not everyone had the privilege to learn.
