Cream color heavy alacite glass lamp stands 17 1/2 tall. Base is 6 1/2 in diameter.
Knob that raises and lowers the wick turns easily. The top meshed metal has been smashed in, but it does not affect the performance of the lamp.There are no cracks, chips, and all parts work well. The metal does have rust spots. If you see a flat step on a short Lincoln drape, instead of the more rounded design of the normal foot then the lamp probably does have the Solitaire foot design. This lamp has the Solitaire foot feature and they are the hardest style to find in this series B.. The new lamps however are quite easy to identify since the threads that accept the burner on the reproductions are part of a metal collar which is glued to the glass rim at the top of the font.

Also the newer lamps are made in two pieces with the foot being glued to the glass font.The original lamps were molded in one piece. The newer lamps use the model-23 burner, while the original short Lincoln drape lamps use the model-B burner. The two burners can however be interchanged. Some of the original short Lincoln drape lamps have a larger foot referred to as a "Solitaire foot".
