The Aladdin Lamp was one of the most Famous and Best Selling Lamp Manufacturers in the early 1900's

The Aladdin lamp was basically a special kind of lamp crafted by a lamp manufacturer during the early 1900's. These lamps were a huge success and by the early 1930's seven million of them were already sold.

These lamps were made of metal, either brass or nickel plated brass. There were various models of these lamps, including table lamps, bracket lamps and very unusual hanging lamps. During the 1930's and 40's they were made of colored glass. One of the best selling lamps from Aladdin lamp was the Alacite tall Lincoln drape. Alacite was a unique trademark of this manufacturer and resembled ivory in its color and texture. Lamps were also made from moon stone glass and colored glass (especially ruby crystal and cobalt blue). These particular glass lamps are now valued collectibles and are truly unique.

These lamps are constructed on highly scientific principles. The kerosene fuel is changed into vapor glass and the vapor mixed with air in the proportion of 1 to 16 to produce a blue flame. Heat from this blue flame is transformed into light, through rare earth elements in the incandescent mantle. A round wick is used to provide an even non flickering flame. The light produced from these lamps is equal to the light produced by a 60 watt bulb from 10 ordinary flat wick oil lamps. This light produced by the lamp is soft, warm and mellow. It is not harsh or a strain to the eyes. It is closest to natural or sunlight, when compared to electric or gas light. They do not produce any smoke or odor or noise and do not require any pumping up.

Every Aladdin lamp gets its exclusive brilliant, highly efficient lighting qualities from Aladdin's patented mantle and burner assembly. This highly advanced feature makes this lamp technically and functionally superior to all other oil burning lamps in reliability, fuel burning efficiency and light emitting quality. However it must be kept in mind that these lamps use twice as much kerosene as a normal lamp and the mantles have to be changed quite frequently. The lamps manufactured during the 1900's are now highly priced collectibles and can fetch very high prices.
