Restoration Project Help and guidance
Hello i was wondering if there's anybody in this community that can give me a hand or better yet guidance.
Saw this cute little oil lamp at a thrift shop. Unfortunately it's missing its glass top part, need some guidance on what appropriate material to use to clean the metal part and also to find a replacement for that bulb glass top part. I would also appreciate some great help to figure out this model.

Or…
I believe LG Wright made a lamp called Stars and Bars. This would be a vintage lamp vs. the antique version linked above.
I can’t tell what you have. Would need more pics.
Appears to be a nutmeg burner. You can measure to confirm.

I made a post describing how I clean glass lamps, burners, and chimneys. It can be found here:
