I think you will find that the base and font holder are brass plated cast iron. There were several dozen makers of lamps similar to yours. Unless...
Ashtray set.
As a general rule: EAPG pitchers do not have ice lips. There may be exceptions, but I don't know of any.
Cluttered...I'm sorry for the delay in answering your questions. Somehow, I missed your post. Prior to 1876 lamp collars were formed from brass...
I need to make a small correction. In looking a some of my ruby stained lamps, I find a couple with Taplin/Brown collars. These would date, at...
Please! Not in the trash. The value is little, but there may be a new collector that would like to have them. I hate to see any old glass trashed....
We can discount Westmoreland, as they came along too late. I can't find any info on "Specialty Glass Co.", so they can't be eliminated. All these...
What? There are a lot of smart, well read, people on this board. Surely, there is an answer to this question out there somewhere. Don't be shy....
While we are talking about stained fonts like this one, who made them? I have been unable to find any reference to any North American company...
The ruby stain is the most desirable, then the amber and then the white. None of the rest are anything special. If the stained lamp is as big as...
It is nice to know the maker and a range of dates. However, we need talk about what it is not. It is not oxblood. Oxblood is red. Think...
We can be sure that it's not Fenton. There is almost no Fenton that will have a pontil scar. Color? It's not ox-blood. How about beer bottle...
With the gray cutting, I would question if these are ABC. However, I know little about such and will now be happy to be corrected. Whatever, they...
I believe Dalzell is correct for the lamp maker. Thuro's "Lamps Book One" lists the lamp as "Eyewinker Thumbprint with Oval Window Font". This was...
That is commonly called a brain fart. No apology called for. There are times when my brain is feeding on cabbage and beans. I'm thinking I have...
A bit of a correction: marigold carnival has a clear (colorless) base glass. I don't know of any carnival with an orange base color. The other...
Dunno how . Living in the 20th cent.
Well, Dean...I am a bit late to the party, but I wanted to second the auction suggestion. Your parts and pieces would be difficult to sell, even...
I did a little checking and could not find your exact lamp. However, since the excelsior burner was a product of the Manhattan Brass Co., it might...
Define new/old. I would be more concerned with the quality of the shade. If the base is fire polished, it would indicate better quality and a...
