Lamp is looking great!

Nice work on the Miller lamp. Like to see it when all complete. Like to see one of those Wanzer’s lit too

Do you have an online store? Your collection is beautiful.

Hi, I just purchased a few lamps from an estate auction. It seems I may have a pristine model 1 in the bunch. I am likely to flip it since i am only interested in functional and emergency lighting for my cabin. I would like to get a proper assessment of the lamp and then get it into the right hands. I am too hard on equipment. Any advice? BTW, thanks for the content from Alberta, Canada

Not sure if you'll get this. I just bought a B-53 clear that glows green with a black light. It has a "A" stamped on the bottom. I'm trying to figure out the approx age of it. Any thoughts?

The cottage is so similar to my Aunt’s on Cape Cod ♥️ She’d a few beautiful oil lamps too, my cousin still uses them. I have several flat wick ones from my uncle’s place he had down there.

At the beginning of Aladdin lamp chimneys, which one and how to adjust, there are several Aladdin Vases.Can you do a video of those? My wife, she is from Vancouver, and I are just learning about the Aladdin Lamps in detail. We have collected oil lamps for a while and knew of the Aladdin but just purchased our first. A Number 11. It has opened a DEEP rabbit hole. Love the vases and trying to find more information. I have several of the books you reference on the way. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of the world. Kem and Sherrie

Hello! Is there a way to tell when a mantle or pieces within it are too far gone and need replaced? Im not as interested in running my uranium glass lamp as i am making it look nice again, but running it would be very fun

Don’t drink THAT coffee. ;) would you mind telling us what make/model/year that font is? TY.

If the oem mantles just weren't so expensive to buy. I try to keep extra mantles but the cost is high, so I'm extremely careful how I handle the lamp. I keep same mantle until it just won't work anymore because of the price.

Ser I just picked a lanturn like the one you have in the back on the left hand side I no nothing about this lanturn but when I saw it I had to have it it seem to me to be missing some parts I don't no the names an was hoping you could help I nomully caller Colman stoves an lanturns but sortove fell in love with. The older karo lamps I owne a few old wik lanturns that were handed doubt famly that are long gone I still use camping but this one sort of founed a place in my shop and I would love to see her run it has a beutiful glass shade I guess that's what there call sorry for writing a hole book on this but I just founed your video an thout you mite have some answers thanks an hope to hear from

do you know anything about the P&A naugatuck lamp? it's just the magnet without the branding im trying to find more info on these lamps since i just got one.

It would be great if you can show video of the heat process for straightening the bend. Thank you for sharing your experience with this interesting lamp!

Nice elite lamp with the owls and gargoyles. Looking forward to seeing it in the fall.

The prices (people are asking) on Ebay for Aladdin lamps/parts is nuts. Quick question. How do I store Aladdin lamps for the summer or more than a few months if it still has kerosene in it? For years, I've just stored these lamps as is, with kerosene still in them (one piece- font, burner, wick) for a few years and still lights up pretty nicely. What's the proper way to store these when not in use for more than a few months? (I would like to reuse the wick.) After removing the wick from the burner, do you let everything dry as is? Rinse with anything? Thanks so much.

Brasso isn't even necessary if your using BM. I've even used it on lacquered items of which it ate right through no problem. In fact, using gloves with the stuff is actually a very good idea. That and it leaves a micothin layer of silicone on the metal thus preventing or inhibiting further tarnish for quite some time.

Thanks for covering a student lamp. I think that one will be a gem. Hope you find the parts.

I didn't know they made oil lamps that you didn't have to take apart to refill. It makes sense, though. I definitely would want these type of lamps if all I had was oil lamp lighting.

Nice find, hope you are able to find all the parts needed to convert it back to original use.

I like the shape of your lamps and the Green lamp is such a pretty color.

Enlightening video… I learned something new about when the various types of collar cramps or a made. Thank you, Joel.

Seeing your collection is amazing! I am trying to expand my knowledge on these things & this helped!

This ONLY happens when you try to make a copy of an old great item the cheapest and easiest way you can

Got one, didn’t work, so they sent me a new one. Neither work! So they asked me send them back.. said “we had a run of bad ones”

Did the same company make glass shades for Rayo and Aladdin?

Thanks for this, this is exactly what I’m looking for, as I am having trouble with trimming the wick. Subscribed!

Wow, this was very helpful. You showed many tips & tricks I didn’t know. One question I still have (if you are still available, this video IS 3 yrs old!) is about cleaning the wick. You mention it nonchalantly, as if we all know how to do it, but I’ve been having trouble with that chore. When I first inherited my Aladdin lamp, I didn’t know how to use it at all, so I found a local guy who works on them & he very kindly gave me the rundown & a wick cleaner tool that fits in the place of the wick spreader. You then turn it around a couple times to even out the top of the wick, but the last time I used it, it didn’t touch the carbonned part of the wick. Could you put out a video on how to trim/clean the top of the wick, pretty please? The kind man who helped me before is no longer in business. 🙏😊

I have a 12 that’s almost solid matte black. It’s really pretty how ever it became that way

I have three of the pull down / extenders...and I can not get them to work. It looks like it should be simple, spring and chains....but noooooo.

What is best way to put a new ring on? I’ve heard plaster of Paris, crimp them..??

Do you have a Instagram or email address you could possibly share i just got a aladdin lamp that i would love to send you a picture of im really trying to get it in original condition but dont even know where to begin

anyone know if this is still here?

I just bought some mantles labeled " Aladdin Upright Gaslight Mantles" They look like newer versions and the bases are made of aluminum. Are these safe to use? I've been told that the aluminum bases are prone to melting.

3:32 wow !!

You should post your sales link in the info area.

Very Cool. I am sadly just learning of these. I bought some flat wick lamps before I knew of these. I would really like to get a few of these lamps with some great looking lamp shades as well. Thanks for posting you definitely gave me some ideas. Like the wall mounting that really was much nicer and safer than just on a table or ledge or something. Also, gets the lamps higher up and able to get the light around the room more.

If I buy an old aladdin lamp, can I use a new maxbright burner in the base? Are they the same size and thus interchangeable?

I have about 10 lamps now, including the one I got from you and not a single one ever starts up with the entire top of mantle glowing.

Sherwoods made a lot of crescent ceramic wick burners for British Raiways for many years from semiphore signal lamps , locomotive head & tail types to small carriage , shunter & police hand lamps great to see this Wanzer Sherwood crossover though 😊

Thanks for the video, anyone knows the code for kerosene to check the price in the stocks market?

Is there a special shade holder for the parchment shades?

I just picked one up, I'm a tubular lantern guy so I don't know much about the lamps. I fired it up and the chimney cracked. Didn't seem like the flame was too high but I'm not used to the center draft circular wicks. The flame wasn't perfectly even all around so maybe a high/hot spot?

Love your videos about the oil lamps , specially the Aladdin lamps. I collect some oil lamps to but they are hard to get in the Netherlands. And the costs for sending from the us are ridiculous.

I WANT both the hanging lamp kits! Are they listed yet?

The first 2 seconds I thought you had a fire omg 😅

How do you dispose of the lye with yuck in it???

Very well made units mine is a S681U Equator II. Easy to change wick just rotate Counter-clockwise until tab up from latch then pull knob out to release wick holder collapse wick inwardly from pins reverse with new wick. It took me 2 tries to adjust wick height corectly 3/8inch exposed when fully to right knob (3X wick number)

I just found your channel tonight and have subscribed!!! Yesterday my husband unearthed (literally) an old lamp from a site where he's doing a lot of work. He's cleaned out an old cellar that's around 100 years old (it's incredible), as well as part of an old cistern; which is where the lamp was buried. I've researched this evening and believe it's an Aladdin 1934 Corinthian Model B-116 Rose Moonstone. If I'm understanding correctly, the font and the foot of this model lamp are glued together (correct?). My question is this...the metal ring where those pieces come together is terribly corroded. Can the font and foot be separated and a new (or old) ring purchased and then the two pieces glued back together? If so, how should I proceed in separating them without causing damage. This thing is so, so pretty even in it's sad state right now. I cannot believe someone just threw it in the cistern and then buried it!!! I'd appreciate any suggestions you can offer. I really want to try to save this piece of history.
