Wow!!!!
Would you like to have it?

 

Hi Milt,
Thanks for the memory. I have 6 or 7 lamps without shades as it is. If it did not have someone elses name and date, I MIGHT. If I remember correctly mine had green flocking on the bottom. Do they even have shop in schools anymore? We had one fourth semester of wood shop, one fourth metal shop, one fourth mechanical drawing and damn if I remember what the fourth was. Milt, I am tempted.

I've heard that shop is not completely gone but not certain of this.

Hi Milt,
Okay you win, send it to me. Let me know how much I owe you.

You owe me nothing but your enjoyment of it.

 

Hi KoT,

A recent find.
About 10" in diameter, brass body and painted. '40s?

Nice one, Milt. Maybe even a bit earlier than 40's? I bet Brad knows.

 

The crystal certainly has seen better days. Do you know how many years of service it takes to get one of those pins, Terry?

 

Apparently one ruby is five years

Hi Book,
I think it refers to the color of the gold, not that it is "old".

If we're lucky...maybe...we'll have 'antique' skin.

Yes...I know...even then it will be new.

 

Thanks!
I think he's in Boston right now isn't he?

 

I guess so, but that doesn't mean he won't see it when he's back.

 

With all the stuff we told him to do there......he'll need serious R&R when he gets home !!

 

I got lucky yesterday at an estate sale, most items were marked $5.00 or less - Alex Colville 'Woman and Terrier' print, nice office chair - I don't know why I'm surprised at how fast a cat shows up when I set down a chair, the airplane lamp, 3 Aerial Age Weekly magazines and a Stangl pottery coffee pot that looks like enamel.
