G377B Yellow moonstone Vertique Aladdin Lamp
This is the that was manufactured in 1938. The moonstone name denotes the way the glass appears to glow like the light of the moon, and the name Vertique refers to the vertical ridges of the bowl. There are a couple of unique characteristics to these Aladdin lamps. One is the intense glow the "yellow" Vertique displays under a black light. This is due to the use of uranium as a coloring agent in the glass. This is similar to Vaseline glass. This vertically ribbed glass lamp was available in yellow, white, rose and jade green moonstone art glass. The bowl is joined to the foot with a brass connector. Exceptional all original condition on the base and burner, the shade does have the name 'Aladdin' on the tall shade, I can't guarantee that this is the old shade I have seen these reproduced. The shade is correct for this Aladdin lamp we do know. The shade is signed with the following information, 'Pyrex Brand Chimney Made in USA for Aladdin Industries Inc.'. This lamp measures 24" high, the base has a diameter of 6 1/2". Notice on the knob to raise and lower the wick there is information that reads, 'Mantle Lamp Co. - Nu-type Model B - Aladdin - Patents Pending - Made in USA - Chicago, Illinois'. Excellent all original condition on this Aladdin Veritque Lamp.
