Aladdin Mantle Lamp Company
The Aladdin lamp has an amazing and rich history that all started with the vision and innovation of Victor S. Johnson over a century ago.
As a small boy on a farm in Nebraska, Victor (Feb. 6, 1882 - Aug. 29, 1943) read the Arabian Nights story of Aladdin in a room of darkness except for the flickering yellow light of an open flame coal oil lamp. Later, in 1908, he founded the Mantle Lamp Company of America and obtained the Aladdin® trademark.
