The lamp in his hand was made in Germany in 1875, and according to the man, the one he is looking for must attract other iron objects like a magnet.

But some people on TikTok have said they have the lamp even though it was made more than 150 years ago and is even out of use in many homes.

Some doubted the man's sincerity. His TikTok bio, @olakanmiegolddeni, says he buys old items at a good price, but people are finding it hard to believe him.
