ALADDIN MODEL B-84 / BEEHIVE KEROSENE STAND LAMP, White Moonstone, side refill feature with original cap. Fitted with a nickel Model B “CHICAGO” burner having a flame spreader. The Mantle Lamp Company of America (Aladdin). 1937 and 1938. 11 3/4" HOA, 8 1/2" H to top of collar, 6 1/2" D foot.
Literature: Courter - Aladdin: The Magic Name in Lamps, p. 111, fig. 215, bottom row, far right.
Catalogue Note: According to Courter, "The White Moonstone lamp is rare. It is an attractive lamp and a mystery why it was never made in quantity. It is curious that 1938 sales literature lists B-80 as 'white,' which is probably a misprint;".
Condition
Excellent condition overall with some scattered flaking and minor sliver chipping to the base edge, some wear to the screwcap.
From the collection of J. W. "Bill" Courter, Calvert City, KY.
