    Wow! Great find from the trash. The condition issues can certainly be forgiven in this case. What material are your shades made from?

    Hmmm... I keep responding but it doesn't go through.
    Looks like a very thin fiberglass, or a resin soaked fabric/paper...?

    This is a internet image of a Modeline I have, found 20 years ago. A walnut table lamp that is 44" tall with original shade (era of huge table lamps). It has four plexi-glass panels with hand applied abstract decoration of some kind of plastic. Never seen another, aside from photos provided here - I'm guessing 1958-62 ? Mine has smaller a period replaced shade. 14553200_219436975145033_4835275569111236608_n.jpg

    Very unusual for sure. Any makers mark on it?

    It has a Modeline decal on the socket. I paid $23. at a flea market - one of my favorite finds. Would like to find a massive drum shade like the one shown to make the lamp correct, but figure this will be a custom shade - I just don't see such large period shades this size in decent condition.
