<p>[QUOTE="Drew, post: 10595915, member: 3235"]Things that seem wrong; socket/cord/plug look new. If someone replaced the socket, they likely would have also replaced cord & plug. A lot will be told by examining the screw contacts inside the socket and plug, as well as the rubberized portion of the cord which will decompose with time even if the lamp was never used. . . 1930's screws and contact tabs look old - new ones look new. On top of that, the form and glaze doesn't say 1930's to me . . .no identifying numbers, initials. </p><p>That being said, it's a decent looking lamp and with a shade would look nice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
