Another item from the storage unit containing the Dazey Churn, Mrs. Stewart's Bluing and Accessory set :)
This Aladdin Oil Lamp is over 22" in height.
In searching online, I think I found this type lamp (cannot find another one online) was made between 1933 and 1945.
If anyone reading can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm just a regular girl helping out my parent's friend.
Thanks!

Beautiful oil lamp!
Thank you!
I believe your lamp is a Colonial. Value $200-$250
WOW! It's great they took care of their possessions.
Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate your time :)
I have a lamp very similar posted in my collection.
I believe you have a B-105 Green Crystal Colonial-in excellent shape and with the correct burner is worth(2006 prices) between 200 and 250 and was made in 1933-they originally had a Model A(hard to tell what you have(looks like a B)) but that year they went to the B burner and so some of the colonials produced later in the year were equipped with a B-it is just the early ones came with an A-so you can get the dates closer depending on which you have. But very nice lamp you have.
