The wick is good, and the lamp is functional. Overall the lamp is in pretty good shape. The brass burner needs to be polished a littlr, but the glass is great shape. There was no lamp shade when acquired.
Also, it appears this may have been the top portion of a taller lamp. There is some adhesive on the bottom of the lamp. However, there does appear to be any cracks, or that the glue was used as a fix. There is an indented area for which I'm presuming is to sit upon a base.
