Help with Antique Lamp

Hello. This is my second posting here on the forum... You guys are great! I have an antique lamp that I inherited from my great aunt. I don't know how old it is. I remember being fascinated by it as a child, and I'm now 42. There's an oval sticker on the bottom that says "Village Green Shop" from Clarks Summit (nearby). But, I'm wondering if they bought it from somewhere else to sell in their store... Any info on the maker/company and date would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

 

I've seen these and can't offer more than that but stand by for help. Many are likely away for the holiday.

 

Nice figural radio lamp. This is not one I have seen before. A lot of these were from the 30s but the way yours is styled and painted makes me think this one to be a bit later. Maybe 40s-50s. Sounds like the label is just the retailer. Makers are not generally known on most of these. Many were imported. They are generally evaluated on their appeal, quality, and condition.

 

Is that what it's called? "Figural Radio Lamp." I never knew... Thank you! I believe the "fiddle" fell off at one point and was re-attached... Other than that, it actually works! lol Thank you!

 

To get more precise info. Show the plug, the underside, and remove globe and photog the bulb socket.

 

My camera isn't that good, so I hope these will do...

 

Nothing to add about your item, but just wanted to say "hi" from a fellow Pennsylvanian!

 

Pure 1960s .

 

Agree, can even say it was sold at retail post June '63 since the label on bottom has a zip code.

 

Yep .... later than I thought based on what I see in the detail pics. Radio lamps became TV lamps in the 50s, though this follows the convention of the earlier forms. This might be considered a reproduction but I don't know if it actually reproduces a known earlier lamp or not.

 

Cool! Thanks everyone! I haven't seen anything like it on the 'net, so, from what you said, I think it's probably a one-of-a-kind knock-off of some sort. Thanks, again!

 

I wouldn't be so quick to call it a one of a kind.......

the net has lots of things...but not everything.

that store could have sold hundreds....still sitting in homes and garages ....photos never taken of them...

 

Point taken.
