Aladdin Brass Model 6 Circa 1915-16 Includes Chimney, Wick & Flame Spreader. Model 6 lamp may well be the most famous model of them all. In 1915 the Aladdin model 6 lamp won a gold medal and a blue ribbon at the Panama -Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco. The first Model 6 lamps had insulated burners with no dates.
After the prize was won, the date was hurried into production by stamping the date on the wick adjuster knob. Later the wick adjuster stamp mold was modified to include the date. As you can see the wick adjuster knob on this lamp has no date, so I suspect that this is the early 1915 model. That would make this lamp 108 years old! This lamp includes an exceptionally clean Model 6 burner, a model 6 flame spreader and an early heelless chimney.
I have also included the wick as in these early lamps the wicks came with the riser attached. It is really unusual to find a model 6 in pristine condition. I have thoroughly cleaned this lamp and oiled the bronze finish with a high quality linseed oil to make sure it will not tarnish for years to come. Any questions, feel free to ask.Check the pictures for additional details. The lamp is 24 inches tall from its base to the top of the chimney. This brass Model 6 is a stunning addition to any décor. Using it will provide a beautiful soft glow of light and will heat a small area in winter.
Thanks for looking and have a great day!
