<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smshart, post: 4467159, member: 76563&quot;]Yes these are most likely Opalescent glass. If wanting to determine age, here&#039;s a great site to help determine manufacture range from the type of socket, it&#039;s one that I refer too. Pull chains came out in 1896, invented by Hubbel. I would look for a name stamped on the socket base; Bryant, invented his version in 1909. Narrowing down age, if name is on socket,&nbsp; would lead you to finding out the opalescent glass manufactures from that time, although exact maker may be harder. But the fun is in the search as they say.&nbsp; My best guess, these would &quot;Art Deco&quot; due to their shape and the ornamentation on these. A wonderful pair of lamps!</p><p><a href="http://www.mosaicshades.com/antique2005/sockets/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mosaicshades.com/antique2005/sockets/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mosaicshades.com/antique2005/sockets/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.theglassmuseum.com/opalesc.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.theglassmuseum.com/opalesc.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.theglassmuseum.com/opalesc.htm</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
