    Bought a box of misc. lighting parts. In a plastic bag, these parts. Do they all belong together? Presumably not the threaded rod, but the rest? Can't actually get anything to fit on the collar on the gallery, but presumably the adjustable larger ring goes on the neck, and the flat brass piece inside, and the wire "harp" in the holes? Yes? What went on those little wires? A mantel?

    No marking on any of it. I'm thinking possibly a European banquet type lamp center draft wick and holder. Looks like a ratchet on the side. Any help appreciated!

    The wire and brass ring are for a preformed mantle. You can toss them. A new mantle comes with these parts. The gallery appears to be for a different size than the wick.

    The bottom right piece is a clamp on 2 1/4" fitter for a glass shade. It is missing the set screws. It allows you to convert a bare socket to accept a shade. Often used to convert a bridge or desk lamp from an uno fit shade to a glass one.

    Thanks -- I thought that was a clamp so it goes with an Aladdin desk lamp for the Emeralite type shade in the second box. Appreciate it!

    Peggy -- I do believe I probably have a box left some place! But this was a different lot I picked up in Atlanta, just two boxes....
