In appreciation:This Aladdin focused web section is a collaborative effort of many people. Much of it is based upon my own efforts of comparing lamp parts with one another, then filtering what I've found through my knowledge of manufacturing & marketing practices, as well as the study of Aladdin documents such as price lists, sales literature, box labels and lamp manuals. But much of the content is also the direct result of email correspondence with many people over the last few years. Unfortunately most of these information tidbits have gone into notes (often on the backs of envelopes), been merged with contributions from others, then edited onto multiple drafts of web pages where paragraphs may individually shift from draft page to draft page before ever being uploaded into this web site. All this is a way of saying that I have received a lot of help from individuals but have lost track of who has contributed what for much of it. If I have forgotten to mention anyone as a source it was not on purpose. So first of all I thank each and everyone who has helped me along in my research by sending me additional information and jpegs and my apologies for forgetting who sent what. In addition: Thanks to Ken Moore, My then neighbor and Aladdin lamp guru, who took the time to mentor a neophyte Aladdin collector and neighbor. He taught me a lot about how Aladdin lamps work, how to return a neglected lamp to service and answered my endless questions. Ken imparted knowledge and insight that would otherwise have taken me decades to learn. Much of the information in this site is based upon published research done by Bill Courter and Allin Hodson. Both individuals have researched Aladdin lamps and published their results. I'm in awe of the research they did. If you have a strong interest about Aladdin lamps I strongly suggest purchasing their books and study them in detail. Aladdin The Magic Name in Lamps, revised edition, 1997 by J.W. Courter, printed by Image Graphics, Inc, Paducah, Ky. ISBN 0-9618879-2-3 Aladdin Kerosene Lamps in Australia, 1999 by Allin C. Hodson, printed by Hyde Park Press, Australia ISBN 0-646 37755-8 This web site is intended to supplement these published works with additional information and not to copy them. So if you are looking for a well rounded Aladdin education I again suggest that you purchase and read their books.
