X. Vintage Kerosene Lantern, The Mantle Lamp Co Of America, Aladdin Model No. 9

The Aladdin model 9 lamp introduced entirely new fonts while retaining a slightly refined version of the model 7 burner and model 8 wick raiser. This design carried through models 10 and 11 with a few variations. The burner base and outer wick tube used on models 9, 10 and 11 remained the same as the model 7 and 8 burners. The model 8 wick raiser was also used unchanged. There were minor changes to the construction of the flame spreader and gallery from the earlier lamps.

There are two versions of the model 9 lamp. The early version has the model 9 designation below the diagonal Aladdin logo on the wick raiser knob and the table font has a wide flat bottom flange in the model 6 style.

The late model 9 version, like the models 10 and 11 have the model designation over the diagonal Aladdin name and a table font that has a narrower crimped foot flange. The early model 9 used the same mini wick holder that was used on the model 8.

The mini wick holder disappeared with the introduction of the reinforced wick that has built in mounting tabs. This appears to be around or just a little before the time when the model 10 was introduced. Not being an expert, I have listed a method I think appropriate for the item.
