<p>[QUOTE="Jim Goodykoontz, post: 9561093, member: 82566"]hi everyone. i found this lamp last week. i don't think it's the prettiest thing i've ever seen, but to me it's very interesting. there's a patent date at the top of the shade of "Sep 23 90." that would make it pretty early as an electric desk lamp. also, the overall design, while very antiquated is moving in a different direction towards some very modern designs. i don't think this design could have existed prior to the invention of the incandescent light. unfortunately, i've looked everywhere and i can't find a manufacturer's name. i haven't taken the bottom apart yet, i really don't want to, but that's probably the only place left to look. i'm hoping someone here might recognize it. the lamp stands about 17" tall and it's also stamped "made is USA" along the top of the shade. any help will be greatly appreciated...thanks</p><p>[ATTACH=full]457441[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]457442[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]457443[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]457444[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
