Not sure what's under the cap for I cannot remove it. Caps on pretty good and I would rather not take pliers trying to get it off damaging it. All I can say is it is empty. Whether or not it has a Wick, I have no idea. Physical Condition is good looking. Looks like it was once red and painted over as you can see a sliver of red on the bottom in the crevice. Please view pics for further details. Ships same day or next business day from Tennessee well protected in box with bubble wrap.
