Message:: [QUOTE="Firemandk, post: 3355241, member: 7258"]Hi [USER=17981]@Bree[/USER] ...welcome! Your lamp looks typical of 1950's /  early 60's lamps that my grandparents and my parents bought during that "Colonial revival"  kitchen and living room furniture period. Interesting that the base is darker than the top parts... might be a "marriage" of parts from different lamps.  A look under the base  and at the electrical wiring will tell you a lot about its age , it may have a "UL" (Underwriters Labratory) sticker that showed it was "tested" to be fire safe........ posting some more pictures might help..... I do see the wiring and it is typical of that era maybe even up to the early 80's..... I see some casting  on the inside of the metal base , some lettering and a copyright letter "C" in the circle, that is probably the manufacturer of it , UNLESS they took a different base  and used it , like if one of the legs broke off of the original base . I see that cork gasket looks like it has been disturbed also ... the top "shiny" brass looks just like the 1963  pole light that to this day sits next to my dad's chair and has the same corrosion on it , so early 60's is my guess, especially if it was  1 block from the beach / salt air like at my dad's house ....lol[/QUOTE]
