[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 9725860, member: 84"]I found these 2 beautiful Moroccan (?) hanging lamps today that are in such great condition I thought they were new/made in China copies, except the wiring on them is cloth covered! And inside a cloth covering are 2 individual cloth covered wires (pos & neg?). Weren't cloth covered wiring used in the 1920's or so? Are these that old? Any information would be a great help - a big difference in value if old & original instead of new & copied!. Thank you! PS - I took most outside but I wasn't sure if it was too bright to see the details with the brass so shiny so I also took some inside - hope it helped. PSS - I also found a Grateful Dead scarf(!) and a beautiful banjo clock (key wind not battery, w/keys) that I will take more pics of (I left in my car til morning - I was more excited about the lamps & the Grateful Dead scarf!) And yesterday I found a beautiful old Gretsch accordion with mother of pearl keys and in it's original case. It looked like it was bought & put away - it's like new! (I wonder why people would donate this - or the Grateful Dead scarf?) What I didn't buy the last 2 days & it may be a record - is any art!!
