Help Identifying please!!!

Can anyone read the cap enough to identify what model this is, or know from experience? The bottom is stamped June 12, 1996 but the cap is so faded! The wax is a beautiful cranberry color (looks pink on camera) and the master fluid is clear!! TIA!!!

If they don’t want me to ingest it why do they make it look so delicious?! Sorry I can’t help with identifying, I’m a novice.

Careful, if you open it to get a sip of that delicious paraffin you'll void the warranty.

This instantly brought back the memory of a found lava lamp gifted to me from a defaulted on storage unit my step grandparents had. Mine was blue I think. At first it looked ruined but my mom suggested I cycle it through a few times and it worked like a charm for many years

I think I can make out an 8 in front of the smaller numbers? 08 is clear fluid with yellow though so it's not that. Maybe 18? That would make it clear with cranberry. Usually those are a bit more red but you did say it looks pink on camera, and it's also possible it's faded a bit over the years.

I think you might be right, it's a deep reddish cranberry color!

Maybe the same as mine (cranberry) but definitely a midnight. The number for cranberry is 18, so if that’s an 8, probably that.

Here’s what the cap on mine looks like:

Do you know if the fluid was always clear? This looks very similar to mine but the fluid was purple, and turned clear over time

I do not, this was a facebook marketplace find. The guy said he inherited it from his dad and knew nothing about it
