My mother kept a collection of old hurricane coal oil lamps, and stuff like lamp wick and cans of coal oil were available in every hardware and grocery store.  I wonder if “coal oil” even exists any more?!?  When </p><p>I see some original lamps in antique stores I get a heart warming deja vu feeling.  To keep warm during a power outage when 20-30 below, we’d shovel coal into the huge old basement furnace by hand, the stoker wouldn’t work of course, and open all the doors in the house and let the heat go where it may without the blower. No nice little portable generators back then, and flashlights were really crude!   </p><p>Oops, now I’m showing MY age!</p></blockquote><p></p>
