Aladdin Venetian Model 12 Art Craft Peach Straw 1245 Oil Lamp #12 Burner 1930-35

Aladdin Venetian Peach Straw Model 1245 Lamp. #12 Burner & Brass Font, VTG Aladdin Lox-On Chimney. Great find from a selective Aladdin Lamp Collector's treasure trove. This is a very nice & scarce Aladdin Art Craft Venetian Peach Straw Model 1245 Vase Style Lamp, with a Vintage Aladdin Lox-On Chimney.

We only gently dusted off the lamp before photographing. The vase portion of lamp is in very nice condition. There are some flea bites on lower edge (as pictured), but no other major chips or dings. There is what appears to be some production variations in color as is normal and a few paint flecks on inside of upper rim where burner sits (as shown in photo gallery) and some near base.

The flecks are hardly noticeable with burner in place. You can review pictures as we shot from all sides, top and bottom edges. We also photo'ed with & without flash as the colors look a little different in different lighting as you can see in pictures.

There could be other tiny blemishes or production blips, but they would be minimal as we looked over the item with care. These models are painted inside with the base peach or tan color & then a light straw type finish was applied to the exterior. What looks like dirt or stain near bottom rim is the residual paint from when exterior paint was applied. The brass font looks good & has the original #12 Burner, but the burner is not working properly. The wick knob is loose & does not move the wick up & down & the burner is stuck in the font & will not unscrew from the base.

We tried to remove the burner from the font to replace it, but even with Liquid Wrench & WD 40, it did not budge. These burners are easy to convert to electric & many people do that. The font has a center tube that allows a cord to be ran through if needed and the vase lamps are hollow, so you could probably convert as you choose. Likewise, if you have a suitable oil font, you can replace the one we included.

There is much more information available from the Aladdin Lamps collector websites on dates of production, models, etc. We are going with much of what the previous owner & collector shared about the description as he knew far more than we do, having owned many hundreds of Aladdin Lamps (and we verified as best we could with the Aladdin Collector's Guide books & info sites). There is no fuel in the lamp font. Please look over all pictures & use zoom if needed.

We do our best to describe in detail what we see & are painstaking in our packing. We even photograph our items as we pack them, just in case.
