<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 220636, member: 44&quot;]This hand lamp is in the &quot;Prince Edward&quot; pattern. It would date from around 1880 to 1900. I can&#039;t tell what kind of collar it has. It may be double ribbed or double fine lines. The fine line collar tend to be older</p><p><br /></p><p>I have a hand lamp in this pattern also. Mine is a flat hand lamp. The flat hand lamp is pictured in Oil Lamps, I, by Thuro, p. 279 in the 1880-1900 section. Thuro says it is similar in design to the &quot;Princess Feather&quot; saying both have a &quot;squart form in opaque white and both come with clear bases and cased fonts. The price guide in the back of the book values it at $110.00+. THat price certainly isn&#039;t relative to today&#039;s market. At the moment don&#039;t know the manufacturer. I do know the &quot;Princess Feather&quot; pattern lamps were made by Consolidated Glass &amp; Lamp Co. I suspect several companies made this pattern lamp???</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the correct name for your style of lamp is footed hand lamp, mine is a flat hand lamp. Most call them finger lamps. If you are planning on selling it, include footed hand and finger in its title to be sure of attracting as much attention as possible.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
