<p>[QUOTE="Nambe collector, post: 1327635, member: 11135"]These cast pieces (not the lamps) are by Winkler Mills Craftsmen from near Santa Fe, New Mexico. There can easily be confusion with their mark--WMC with a lion facing left and a row of dots under the lion--and the White Metal Casting that is used for base-metal lamps. Winkler Mills folks came from Winkler Mills, MI, to Nambe, NM, some time before the 1950. Their work is definitely mid-20th century. Pauline Cabel, a secretary for WMC, bought foundry in the early 1950s and renamed it nambé. Many of the WMC designs are continued by nambé as their "heritage" series, but in the 8-metal alloy it is now known for. Hope this helps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
