My Aladdin Collection: Model B Apple Green Corinthian (1935)

Introducing the 23rd vintage lamp in my collection...

Representing the Model B Corinthians: 
Apple Green Moonstone (B-111)

The Corinthian lamps were produced from 1935-1936. Corinthians are often confused with the Cathedral lamp because at quick glance, they look very similar. Novices may not pick up the differences (especially if you don't have the two side-by-side to compare), but there are actually quite a few. 

L - Corinthian, R - Cathedral

3 key differences:

• Corinthians have a metal connector between the bowl and the foot, and Cathedrals do not (this is the most obvious, dead giveaway)
• Corinthians' bowl ribbing is concave, Cathedrals' bowl ribbing is convex
• The base of the Cathedral has a row of beads around the bottom, while the Corinthian base is a little more plain

L - Corinthian, R - Majestic

One thing I didn't realize until getting my Corinthian is that the bowl is the exact same as the Majestic! This is very easily seen by comparing my 2 lamps that I happened to choose in the exact same color.

My New Lamp

Whew! It has taken me quite awhile to add this particular lamp to my collection! I've been on the hunt for quite some time. It's not necessarily a rare or hard to find lamp, but I just couldn't quite find the right one. First of all, as you can see above, there are a lot of different styles of Corinthians. The glass ones are by far more popular than the moonstone ones. When I would see what I was looking for, there was always something wrong. For some reason, some were priced way higher than what they were worth. Others had something wrong with them: either really horrible looking burners or burners missing galleries, or there were chips in the glass. Finally, I came across this one, and I can now check the Corinthian off my list.

I decided to go for a green moonstone one based on value, looks, and variety of color within my collection. Had I realized that the bowl on the Corinthian is the exact same as the Majestic, I might have chosen a different color, but I'm still happy with it. It also really helps to see the similarities because they are the exact same color.
