sold in US September 1922 through May 1928
sold in UK 1922 through 1928

|
The Aladdin model 11 lamp is virtually identical to the late model
9 and model 10 lamps. The burner assembly is the same except
for the labeling on both the wick raiser knob and flame spreader.
There are three versions of the flame spreader labeling. Like
the model 10, the model 11 appears to be purely a name only
update for sales purposes. See Model
9 for burner and font pictures.
There are slight variations in the table lamp fonts between the model 9 through 11 lamps that are not noticeable without a close side by side comparison and a ruler. These variations are thought to be mostly due to tooling wearing out and being replaced. |

Flame Spreader (generator):
There were three versions of flame spreader. The name was changed
from generator to flame spreader in 1928 between model 11 and model
12 production. Generators were supplied on the model 11s during
production. Flame lame spreaders are replacement parts available to keep
model 7 through 11 lamps functional after 1928. New replacement
flame spreaders were sold in a cardboard tube.

LEFT: This is a 1923 advertising postcard that offers both a 10 night free trial on a new lamp and an opportunity to become a door to door Aladdin lamp salesman. Door to door salesmen demonstrating lamps accounted for a very high percentage of Aladdin lamp sales.
Interesting things about this postcard is that the illustration shows a model 4 or earlier lamp gallery and that they are still using the blue ribbon won for the best kerosene lamp in the 1915 worlds fair in San Francisco.
BELOW: 1924 advertising post card that offers both a 10 night free trial on a new lamp and an opportunity to become a door to door Aladdin lamp salesman. This one has been updated to show a model 11 table lamp. |
