As you know that I’m a new comer in this world of Aladdin lamp, and still don’t know much about this world of lamp. Few days ago, I got new information about lamps, especially Aladdin Lamp. Of course I knew the story of Aladdin and his magic lamps, but is there any relationship between this Aladdin lamp and the story of Aladdin? Searching through the internet, I found a more clear explanation on this Aladdin lamp. Here is my short report.
The Aladdin Collector gives me more useful information about what Aladdin lamp is? It’s Victor Samuel Johnson, American, who incorporated “The Mantle Lamp Company of America” and then in early 1909 introduced the first Aladdin lamp to America. The name Aladdin was actually derived from the story of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp (one of my questions was answered). When firstly introduced, Aladdin lamp was given away as part of their introduction to the public. In 1919 The Company formed a subdivision what they called “Aladdin Industries Inc.” in order market it’s diverse product line. And then in 1949 The Mantle Lamp Company of America merged with its subsidiary, “Aladdin Industries Inc.,” and became known by that name. Nowadays, this industry is still producing a variety of products, but is probably best known for the Aladdin thermos products it manufactures. It still produces and sells Aladdin kerosene lamps. Ok, I think I’ve got a useful info here.
Yes! I think it’s enough for this time. I hope this is a good beginning for me to know and understand more about this wonderful Aladdin lamp. I always wonder to have one for my collection.
