This miniature 3/4" x 1 5/8" clear glass chimney is a specialized replacement part for Vapo Cresolene lamp burners—the fascinating medical vaporizer devices that were sold from the late 1800s through the 1950s as home remedies for respiratory ailments. At just 1 5/8 inches tall with a 1 1/4 inch bulge, this is one of the smallest lamp chimneys available, perfectly proportioned for the delicate Cresolene burner design.
Vapo Cresolene lamps weren't traditional lighting devices—they were medical vaporizers marketed as treatments for asthma, bronchitis, whooping cough, and other respiratory conditions. These ingenious devices used a small oil flame to gently heat medicinal compounds (typically creosote-based solutions), releasing vapors that patients would inhale throughout the night. Today, these lamps are prized collectibles, representing a unique chapter in medical history and home healthcare innovation.
Finding replacement chimneys for Vapo Cresolene lamps can be challenging due to their unusual miniature size.
