Featured Antique Lamp Question

Just bought this rather nice, heavy & large table lamp base (27" tall). Previous owner had it rewired years ago, but never found a shade.... my question is, how uncommon are table lamps with four cluster sockets ? They're original Hubbell sockets w/acorn pull chains. I figure the date is 1900-1910. I've seen many three socket lamps of this type from the era, but not four ? I figure the next challenge - find a large mission slag glass shade of the same vintage.

 

Kinda NEAT!!! Does look like it weighs a TON!!! LOVE to see it when you complete your mission and hide those light sockets!!! I think it belongs in a castle!!!

 

Will take my time to get the right shade. Lighting guru's like me really appreciate a lamp that have their original early sockets w/ their acorn chains... especially a cluster of four Harvey Hubbell's !

 

Nice lamp! Is this iron? If so, possibly Bradley and Hubbard. Send it to me. I have the perfect shade for it

 

It's a zinc alloy of nice quality and weight. Previous owner had it rewired and no signature was found. I find it rewarding searching out unsigned lamps...the signed ones are bringing prices above my pay grade. Important to note that many higher end ones like Handel were zinc alloy, clad in bronze, not solid bronze - of course some were indeed solid. I do like B & H iron lamps. . . nice quality and design.
