D.D. Williams Patent Lamp
Miners' oilwick cap lamps were used in the U.S. from the 1860s into the early 1920s in some areas with the first patent for a miners' oilwick lamp being granted to Wm. Seybold on May 13, 1862 and the last patent being granted to Stanley Yellen on Apr. 20, 1915. Of the 119 oilwick cap lamp patents awarded 70 were granted in the state of Pennsylvania with the remainder being divided among 14 other states. The lamps with single wall spouts were designed to burn a liquid fuel while those with double wall spouts were designed to burn liquid fuel or a paraffin based solid fuel sold under the brandname "Sunshine".
