Collectors this is your chance to own one of the most rarely seen Aladdin metal lamps. The model 10 was made for just over 1 year so very few were ever put into circulation. Made from May 1921 through August 1922 there are very few of these lamps available and this one is in unusually fine condition. It is not mint but it looks very close. There are no dents or cracks as you can see in the pictures.
The original nickel finish is approximately 99%! The lamp looks beautiful, and may be the only chance you will ever have to put a Model 10 lamp in your collection. Finding one in such fine condition is even more rare.
The lamp is complete and ready to burn. Just add a mantle and kerosene and light it up. It has a new un-burned wick installed and properly charred so there is nothing needed to put this lamp into operation. The burner gears work smoothly and there is no excessive play in the wick raising mechanism.
The burner has no dents or cracks and looks almost new. The lamp comes with a 3 line Aladdin chimney and one model 10 and one extra model 11 flame spreader! The model 11 flame spreader is included for operating the lamp so you don't have to burn up that precious and rare model 10 flame spreader. I normally do not include shades because there are so many colors and types I believe that choice should be left to the owner although the melon shade in the pictures looks very nice on this lamp.
Note: The pictures that show the wick raised are included to show the new wick properly charred and ready for use.
