Made for only two years (1935–1936), the Model B “Orientale” can be tough to find in nice condition. The brass bowl usually survives well, but the cast white metal stem and pedestal are notorious for oxidation issues.
I ended up buying a NOS Model B burner specifically for this lamp. Pictured here with a Coleman No. 443 Kreme-Lite shade and a new 14-inch parchment shade.
I was going to buy a Cadillac but changed my mind last minute. Many similar features on this (minus the back massagers), a lower price, better warranty, and better gas mileage (and don’t have to use Premium gas).
Plus, I heard Cadillac is phasing out the CT5 after this year. We have never had a problem with any of our Hyundai vehicles.
It drives nicely. No complaints. Still getting used to the look of the thing. It’s…pretty unique. 😀
I was in need of a few lamp or lantern pieces of “art” and could not find many. I created these based off of items in my collection and had them printed and framed. Turned out looking ok. Might have a few more printed…
Found this today. Cute bear I will be gifting. Still has the tag, sticker, and original price tag.
I hear the heart is peridot, but posting it because it glows and to feed Google. 😀
Very excited to have the opportunity to add a little more blue to this particular collection of great lamps.

Thuro called this Diamond and Fan (Oil Lamps II, p. 101). See last pic.
Added a little bit more blue today to this sub collection.
The large Vaseline lamp is one of my favorites. It’s front and center on the top of our cabinet and I really don’t rotate this one out very often.
Still on the hunt for a couple more pieces…including Apple Green (UG).

Highly recommend picking up an Aladdin Model 12. A great burner! Waiting on another chimney and I will be in business.
I pretty much pick up every King, Son & Co. No. 24 (OMN) plate (often labeled as trays) I come across in Canary. The average price is…well, definitely not $3.
We don’t display all of these pieces, but they do get used for our “fancy” glow dinner parties. 😎
I usually grab the Apple Green versions too, since I have several oil lamps in the same pattern and all of the available colors.
Needless to say, I was pretty excited to pay three bucks for this one—easily the cheapest I’ve found. Even broke out a couple Apple Green King, Son & Co. No. 24 (OMN) oil lamps to celebrate.

Another successful order from BCV Glass. Saw the Viking and knew I had to order it. Will make a great gift.
Doing a little reorganizing and snapped a few photos of some of my favorite vases. Quite the variety here—modern to antique, Czech, Finnish, and American.
Model 23. Marked 1977. C-6195. I changed out the burner.
Coleman No. 443 Kreme-Lite shade.
A lot of amber in the foot. Really shows up under a UV light. See last two pics. Picked up for a decent deal.
