<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 4351629, member: 3235"]15 lbs. is hefty so brass is possible. Some lamps had cast iron at the bottom to keep lamp stable because the shades were pretty heavy making them top heavy. Underside of base may give confirmation. I notice the shaft up to the sockets does look to be brass. As you noted, a silver-gray color metal would indicate non brass, but yellowish sure would seem like brass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
