Chimneys are reminiscent of old glass: measurements are approximate, occasional slight imperfections and mold marks are normal and not defects. Shape may vary from picture. 
Chimneys are measured bottom diameter by height.
- Height is a matter of personal taste. Typically the oil lamp chimney extends up thru the middle of the lamp shade and rises 2″-4″ above the top of the shade.
- Bottom diameter is measured outside edge to outside edge. This measurement is important as it must fit the holder or burner. Most burners have a narrow seat for chimney to rest on. Particular care should be taken if the lamp is used to burn oil making sure the oil lamp chimney bottom fits securely.
- Measure the diameter of where a proper fitting chimney sits, once it is on the burner. This is best measured with calibers to get an accurate measurement. To test: cut a ring from paper the needed diameter. Slip down over burner to check fit.
- Fit: The chimney should put slight pressure on the tines of the chimney holder or burner which in turn holds the oil lamp chimney in a stable position. This ensures a proper updraft enabling the burner to function correctly.
Height and shape of chimneys affect the general appearance of oil lamps.
- Embossed, opal hobnail, and crimp top chimneys are typically used on lamps without a shade.
- The simpler styles with straight tops are most often used on lamps with a shade.
