 VINTAGE GENUINE ALL ALADDIN BRASS HERITAGE #23 MANTLE LAMP
 LAMP, BURNER, SHADE &  CHIMNEY

NO DENTS, PITTING, OR DINGS
ALL COMPONENTS ARE WELL-FITTED WORKING and SAFE, AS THE MAKER INTENDED.


Overall, I'd give this lamp a 9.99 out of 10! Bid with confidence ... You'll be getting a solid, beautiful lamp!

Standing 23-1/2" she is a beautiful specimen of Aladdin's well-known Brass Heritage lamp line. . The gallery is in like-new condition, no bends in it so the chimney fits perfectly.

There is a loss of lacquer near the flame adjuster and filler cap from fuel but no pitting. The 10" Aladdin shade  rests on a tripod support. The mantle, which burns the fuel up from the #23 burner, has disintegrated but replacements are readily available. At the time we acquired it, this lamp had been hidden away, unused in a back room for 14 years. We believe it to be  40-some-years-old.

DID YOU KNOW?

The Aladdin lamp produces four times more light per gallon of kerosene than wick lamps-equivalent to 60 candlepower of white light. Wick lamps produce light by the process of burning kerosene with a large flame. These lamps are essentially liquid fueled candles with bigger wicks.

The Aladdin mantle glows with a brilliant white light. In terms of the amount of light produced, the incandescent mantle is far more efficient than a wick lamp. The mantle, which is made of a special mixture of rare earth oxides, produces light by a process called incandescence. Incandescence is the same process by which electric light bulbs produce light, without destroying the element producing the incandesence. Careful observation will reveal the small blue flame below the mantle, not the yellow flame of an ordinary wick lamp. This blue flame produces a high heat because of the burner design, thereby making the mantle glow and emit white light.

You can often spot an Aladdin because the chimney is slim and taller than used on most other lamps. The tall chimney creates a draft to draw more air needed to make strong light and create the efficient 4% fuel, 96 % air combustion mix.
