We could not find any flaws of note in the glass amber font, the glass looks very near mint & we took multiple pictures for your consideration. The cap has normal wear, but the glass is outstanding.
The font is about 8.5" High and the base about 6.5" in diameter. This lamp was only made in 1937-38.
Pictures 6 & 7 in photo gallery are of the Beehive lamp next to an Amber Washington Drape we have for sale (it is not part of this sale). We only put them side by side for color comparison to show the Amber tint.
He owned about 400 lamps and was an Aladdin lamp expert. We only gently cleaned the lamp. There is no fuel in lamp. The lamp is in excellent condition, unless otherwise noted. There is a 1.5 in crack in the base of the Lox On Chimney, but we will include it and pack it well. That is the only actual damage we see to any features of items included in this sale. The burner is also nice, but could use a good cleaning. The wick riser knob seems to be a little tight, but this lamp may not have been used in decades. There could be other tiny blemishes or production blips, but they would be minimal as we look over items thoroughly. We box & bubble wrap chimney then heavy wrap lamp & burner in styro lined box.
