OIL/KEROSENE SHADE HOLDERS - These are metal fittings that support a glass shade or globe resting on the burner. The tripod types that I keep in stock is made for a 7-inch & 10-inch diameter shade. There is no extra charge to place a special order. Be sure to select the correct tripod for your particular burner: the older burners have a slightly smaller rim diameter than the new ones. A tripod is a small brass hoop with three radiating arms that support the shade at their ends. Tripods work well for light-weight shades.

Although more expensive , shade rings are much stronger and sturdier(see photo below). A shade ring is like a wheel, with the shade resting on the outer rim.

The ball shade holder, which looks like a holey frisby, supports a glass shade whose fitter has a 4-inch diameter.
