This is a 5-day NO RESERVE auction for an Aladdin Style B-121 Majestic Model B kerosene lamp, with the rose moonstone font and the metal gold finish base.
The lamp stands about 11 ½” tall, not counting the burner, and is about 6 ¼” in diameter at the font and the base. The font is in excellent condition, with no chips, cracks or repairs. This lamp was found at a recent estate auction, and is fresh to the market.
I am not an expert, but I do know that the finish on the metal base is notoriously fragile and subject to excessive wear. This is easily the nicest finish that I have ever seen on this model, and I guarantee that it is original. There are a few small spots of wear/tarnish, which I have tried to show in the photos, but nothing significant. Also, there are a few tiny flecks of old adhesive on top of the finish where the base and font join together, which reinforces my belief that the finish is original.
The brass burner is also original and complete, and in very good condition, with some tarnish, but no dents, bends, breaks, etc. The wick may need some adjustment as it doesn't raise far enough to burn.
