Wick for kerosene lamp 6″

10”’ Cotton round burner wick with good absorbency.

Standard dimensions for kerosene lamps were established in the mid-19th century and were based on the size of the kerosene burner. Measurements are given in lines and line measurements are counted in 1/12 inch. Thus, 1 line equals 1/12″ (inch). The line number is determined in proportion to the brightness of the lamp and the higher the line number the higher the luminous intensity.
