About Antique Aladdin Lamps

Originally founded in Chicago in 1908 as “The Mantle Lamp Company of America,” Aladdin Industries Inc. was considered the maker of the finest non-electrical lamps in the world. Their oil lamps were so bright, the company offered a thousand dollars to anyone who could show them an oil lamp that matched the brightness, and no one ever did. Aladdin was unique in its use of so-called “moonstone” glass, a milky white glass that shone like the moon when the lamp was lit.
