A good quality 17th century brass grease lamp.
Grease lamps used fat, often from the kitchen, as fuel. While they burned slowly and were very cheap to operate because they did not require expensive fuel, they did not give good light and produced a black, smelly, greasy smoke unless all of the impurities were removed from the fat.
Shipping P.O.A. Subject to quotation and will be charged separately.
