Introducing the 27th vintage lamp in my collection...
Representing the Model B Tall Lincoln Drapes:
Cobalt, with Scalloped Foot (B76)
Cobalt, with Scalloped Foot (B76)
The Alacite version of the Tall Lincoln Drapes is one of the most popular versions of the Tall Lincoln Drape, as it was produced for nearly 10 years. The Clear, Cobalt, and Ruby were each only produced for 1 year and are rarer and have a much higher value than the Alacite version. The Alacite and Cobalt each featured an alternate foot design in addition to just the plain circle design, which was the scallop. Lamps with the scallop design are rare and considered valuable and desirable by collectors. The scallop design was never reproduced, so you can be sure lamps featuring that design are originals.

My New Lamp
The Cobalt Tall Lincoln Drape with Scalloped Foot has been on my list since I created my list. With it being quite expensive, I wanted to wait for just the right lamp at just the right time. That time came at the 43rd Eastern Lighting Collector's Meet in Wooster, Ohio. From our Crownplace table, I scanned the many tables filled with beautiful Aladdin lamps. Directly across from our table, I spotted the lamp on my list. I went over and looked at it. It was in perfect condition! I waited for at least half of the day as it continued to stare back at me, and with some nudging, I decided it was meant to be. I talked to the seller and made the purchase! He said it is one of the finest examples he's come across in his many years of collecting. He was glad it was going to a good home where it could be displayed properly instead of boxed in his attic.
