I hope you and your dad and the ring are back home.

 

I'm confused. What does the "umbrella" have to do with the other pictures?

The shade frame doesn't look "Art Deco" to me - more 50's-60's with the odd shape.

 

I couldn't even make out what it was, so I changed it to black & white (nothing else worked).

 

What Messi and Abuela said.
Is the umbrella the lamp, then?

 

Nooooo....
Sorry I mixed up that photo.
That is also my find today, but it is only an brass umbrella stand.
Sorry for the mix up

 

Heres a photo of the whole lamp:

 

yup that's the one huge blades on it with no guard 12 in flame to start but then you turn it down after it starts like a lamp

 

Yep. No guard and an open flame..yikes. The lamp above looks more 50s than 30s.

 

now he uses a peltier chip fan uses heat from the wood stove to power a little chip with a fan in a holder , the hotter the stove gets the faster it goes. it fell off the stove once and bent the blades armature now it makes a funny sound the faster it goes the more noise it makes lol drives me crazy

 

I'll add my hopes to that also, Komo.

 

50s are a lot safer this one is def. 30s

 

I found this mushroom lamp , one of my kids friends were looking at it and i think may have dropped it as the shade is chipped now

 

this is a kewl lamp also with flowers in it ,I used to have one of those flower gas lights (a rose) screwed into it but it got broke when my particleboard shelving unit collapsed, it was heart breaking

 

is safe it's only a five or six inch across fan little guy from princess auto, they are for portable drink coolers and stuff like that but all metal.

 

so i went back and bought it , not rare i used the wrong title to search lol (high bike ) high wheeler .

 

Interesting. My irridescent vase sold for about $130 at auction last night. Cost me a dollar fiddy.

I think it was modern, decently done, but not old. The two people fighting over it were convinced it was Loetz, and old. To me, it was too heavy, had no wear at all, a greyed pontil, and no where near the sheer glow of proper Loetz.

I stilll think it was an honest copy, but hey, I ain't complaining!

 

good profit , and there are a lot of fakes out there

 

yes they are but not by avon it says high wheeler and it really was hi wheeler lol

yes they are

 

a friend of my son (from England) sold me a bunch of english and assorted coins a week ago, some pennies and farthings have to sort ,coin holder, and catalog .
