I believe that what you collect, you should enjoy and appreciate, and do so every day – so if you have a lamp, get it out of that box, put it on display and even use it from time to time.

As a collector of Miller lamps I was surprised not to be able to find a web site dedicated to these wonderful and very collectable kerosene lamps.  In time I hope to develop this site into a reference resourse specifically for Miller lamps, including the companys history and a photographic index of his lamps.  I hope also that this site might become a contact place for fellow collectors to assist all of us in our endevours to restore and collect these lamps.

Recently my website underwent a compulsory host server change.  This process has scrambled some of my pages, lost others and altered the location of some of the photographs, making my site a bit of a mess.  Please be patient as I work through the many issues that this change has caused, and in the mean time – please do not hesitate to continue to email me with your questions pertaining to kerosene lamps – particularly those made by Edward Miller.
