<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ghopper1924, post: 286434, member: 5170&quot;]Hi Bakersgma:</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought the shade might be a late 20th century effort myself, since there was a big revival of interest in Tiffany then. I guess its still possible. It was purchased at a small-town auction and the auctioneer claimed personal knowledge of the family that owned the lamp and the ancestor that made the lamp &quot;a looooong time ago.&quot; The year of manufacture was not given, if anyone still remembered it. The auctioneer could have been lying, although I think of him as being basically reliable. I&#039;ve been going to his auctions for about 10 years now.</p><p><br /></p><p>The shade comes apart into 2 sections, and a very aged/patinated stamped tin band acts as an astragal or batten to cover up the joint. This is not something I remember seeing in late 20th century revival shades. Also, the colors seem a bit less &quot;bright&quot; than later shades, which to me says earlier rather than later.</p><p><br /></p><p>Nevertheless, the worst case says that the auctioneer was not telling the truth and&nbsp; this is a recent shade. Keeping in mind what Komokwa said about well-done shades, would the replacement value still be $800-$1K?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
