My Aladdin Collection: Model 23A Genie II (1990-2005)

Introducing the 18th vintage lamp in my collection...

Representing the Model 23A Genie IIs: Clear Genie II (C6106)

The Genie II was produced for many years - from 1990 up until 2005. I think it is safe to say that the Genie II was the most colorful model, by far. Including the clear, this style came in a whopping 13 colors (7 total options with brass burners and 7 total options with nickel burners - clear was available in both). Check out this catalog from 2001 that I am lucky to still have in my product information files from my customer service days. Aren't they so pretty?!

With the addition of this Genie II, I now have a complete Genie trifecta! The Genie (1977-1988), the Genie II (1990-2005), and the Genie III (1999-present).

I had to do some real digging to narrow down the production dates for this style. My normal resource book Aladdin: The Magic Name in Lamps mentions this style and states that they were introduced in 1990. However, there was no mention of an end date. I remember selling these lamps early in my career, but I couldn't remember exactly when we stopped. I went back to my old catalogs, but found real confirmation from our computer system. I was able to see a product note that thankfully transferred over from the old system that stated that the lamps were being discontinued by the vendor (Aladdin) and the date was 2005! 

The Genie II is unique, but similar to the Genie, in that there is no fill hole. This means, in order to refill the lamp with fuel, you have to unscrew the burner and use burner collar opening. Not many lamps were made this way, for obvious reasons.

My New Lamp

This lamp's glass pattern is so unique. It looks like seashells. It is more pronounced on some of the different colors, and it kind of depends how the light is hitting it.

Aladdin Lamp Sighting in Westworld

I've got another Aladdin lamp sighting on TV to report! This one comes from the HBO show Westworld. I wasn't able to get very good pictures of the lamp because it was in the background. I'm 99% sure it's an Aladdin just based on the color and shape of the lamp and the shade, as well as the visibly large brass burner.

Now, which lamp is it? The first lamp that came to mind was the Alacite Tall Lincoln Drape. However, this also looks like an Alacite Simplicity from a distance. If I could get a better look at the font, it would be so easy to tell based on the following details:
