1. A wick holder for a liquid-fuel burning lamp comprises a wick support in the form of a button-like metal pressing formed to be a press-fit in the neck of a liquid-fuel containing lamp, the centre of the pressing being formed with an aperture presenting radially inwardly projecting fingers, and a wick tube of heat resisting material forced partly through the aperture so that the fingers flex as the tube is pushed through and by their own elasticity grip the tube frictionally and hold it in a desired axial position in the wick support, the fingers being spaced apart around the aperture to permit air flow therethrough when the tube is gripped by the fingers.
