This book as been very helpful. I had owned several types of Aladdin lamps, but know little of them by history and design. I have tried to keep my lamps in a condition that is as close to original configuration as possible. This guide not only gives a good history of Aladdin lamps, but also detailed copies and drawings of lamps, shades and original accessories. This has been not only fun, but great in working with these lamps. As a quick hisory, and guide for original configurations of these lamps this book has been most valuable.
Book has a lot to offer if you are collecting Alladdin ELECTRIC LAMPS! Shows views on different styles, symbols or marks. Gives brief history on the Alladdin Company. Some of the photo's are in color, most are black and white. In all this might be helpful to for any one who is in restoration of Electric Lamps & Floor lamps. Also shows lamps which you'll never see in ones life time!
J.W.Courter, it seems, has a passion for anything Aladdin. You will find more information about these products, whether electric or kerosene lamps or any of their other many products, in the books he has written than anywhere else on the planet. The price guides he provides are also extremely useful and don't have those impossible to attain prices that many of the other resources for things antique and collectible have in their guides. Great job Mr. Courter.
Very interesting book on lamps.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
It's not brand new but was not advertized to be. It is in great shape, has a great deal of information and is helping to broaden my knowledge of Aladdin Lamps.
