Introducing the 32nd vintage lamp in my collection...
Representing Model C:
Watchman Font Lamp (B-165)
Watchman Font Lamp (B-165)
The Model C burner was produced from 1955-1963. The Model C burner followed the very successful Model B. The reason for the change was that all of the tooling for the Model B burner was lost in a flood. The Model C was designed rather quickly to have something to sell with lamps and was cheap to produce. Because of the quick and cheap production, the Model C is arguably the worst burner Aladdin ever produced. The lamps sold with these burners were also cheap and were made of aluminum (there are just a couple lamps not made of aluminum that were sold with Model C burners).

My New Lamp
I will be honest in saying that this lamp would not be a favorite of mine. I really only wanted it for my collection just to have a Model C. It fills a hole in the timeline and gives me a Model C burner for reference.
