Just sharing the 1890's banquet lamp I brought back to its former glory. My grandmother bought it in the 50's and it had been improperly set up...
Looks like the mod orange Braniff Airlines used. They really went all out with modernist design and color.... lobby terminals, uniforms, etc. [IMG]
Looks to be 30's. Olympia is a quality Maker. There's a good FB antique typewriter page.... you'll be able to find any history & production...
The clear distinction of yellow and white glass seems it would be 'cased' with no paint. A further test is to see if paint can be scratched off...
Are they cased.... meaning a two layer glass, yellow over white. I have a repro pair of these in green which is a painted process. A good pair of...

Here I am (center) in 1974 with friends I met on a trans-Atlantic voyage on the SS France. The jacket was my older brothers and dated to 1965.[ATTACH]
Going back to the painting ~ decent facial expression for a naive work . . . what one would see from a person reading. Looks like mildew/mold...
