<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 248621, member: 44"]Can you post a pic of the entire hanging lamp apparatus. Do look the iron frame over carefully for marks. B&H (Bradley & Hubbard) iron bracket lamp frames, etc... usually have one of their logos on it. Also the style of the hanging frame for your lamp may help in IDing the maker of the frame but not of the font. No doubt you know already that fonts used in bracket lamps and many hanging lamps were the same, same bases.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, the collar on your font appears to have 2 groove lines as opposed to rib lines. This style collar does date to the late 1870s to possibly the 1890s. Look carefully around the sides of the collar for any patent info. Some do have such info.</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
