T W Sands & Co

This shop is a delight to visit! I bought a replacement glass shade for my old oil lamp, a couple of spare wicks and rose geranium oil there on Tuesday and was having such a great time in the shop I didn't want to leave!I love it that it's such an oldfashioned real" shop in the city and delighted I finally got there after frequently window shopping it years back when they were in Elizabeth Street."

Very helpful and informative service, they had the parts we needed for my friends Alladin" table lamp

I brought my great grandfathers Aladdin oil lamp here to be restored and received great service. The Lady that runs the store front was friendly and had a great deal of knowledge about all things oil lamp related. My family and I were all impressed by the final product.

T.W. Sands what a place to visit, almost everything you need to keep your old oil lamp in top condition. Fantastic selection of old and new oil lighting, well worth a visit.

Really disappointing experience. Would not recommend.I went to TW sands to restore my grandfathers mining lamp. At first they were really friendly and helpful. However it all went downhill from there.When I would follow up on the progress of the lamp they would be rude and short, I would just get excuses and that it would be made a priority and to call them back in a few weeks. This went on for 4 months…Then they simply stopped returning my calls. I eventually Had to call from a different number to get an update that still nothing had been done.I ended up picking up my lamp with no work completed. When I asked why they wouldn’t call me back they were rude and literally shooed me out of the shop. It’s sad as you want places like this to do well but I wouldn’t recommend them to anyone.

I was keen to get a beautiful but relatively inexpensive oil lamp as a gift for friends who've moved to Castlemaine so they can enjoy it in their new colonial surroundings…found the perfect one, with real character andmuch more unique than anything you'll find in chain stores. Great experience.

Very helpful informative staff. Took time to go through the inventory so as I could purchase the correct lampshade.

Yes I do have an oil lamp. Old school establishment once on Elizabeth St. Still gives me great pleasure in visiting such establishments. If you are looking for an original/old oil lamp still the place to go with knowledgeable staff.

Called the shop hoping to get some parts for my 1939 Coleman lantern. To my surprise both bits were in stock and we're promptly posted to me the next day. Price was good. I think it's amazing that can buy parts off the shelf for a 76 year old appliance. Can't wait to visit the shop

I have had TWO wonderful experiences with T W Sands & Co. Firstly restoring an antique pressure lantern that had belonged to my Grandfather, it was Very bedraggled and Jason had it cleaned up and working. Fabulous!! Secondly upon cleaning out a deceased relatives home I found a lamp that had belonged to my Great Grandmother, I remembered it as always being green in colour. Jason once again did his magic and the green" turned out to be a beautiful blue. I can say only that Jason and the firm of T W Sands & Co are JUST GREAT"
