I recently dug out two Wolf flame lamps (ex Telecom, not Miners) from the attic.

Unscrewed the bonnet to free the base, removed and cleaned the glass and opened the reservoir
refilled with paraffin, and refitted the reservoir lid/wick holder
Adjusted the wick and lit it, trimmed to a stable, luminous, smokeless flame about 3/4" high
Replaced the glass and gauzes, refitted and screwed down the bonnet & glass protector onto the base......
.... and out goes the flame. [repeat, and repeat again with second lamp]
It appears that the flame is being starved of air, and I cannot see any means of a lower air supply to the flame
the lower glass gasket fits firmly snugly onto the reservoir top creating a tight seal.
What am I missing here?
cheers MARK
