[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 355857, member: 51"]Just got this and would love to get some extra eyes on it. Trying to avoid lamps --(hard to ship, and how many can a person have?) but could not pass this at $10 with this amazing green glass. The whole thing (with glass insert) is about 3 ft. tall. First, the base: [ATTACH=full]121152[/ATTACH] Cord shows some age. Academy electric was a New York company in business from 1947-2000. [ATTACH=full]121153[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]121154[/ATTACH] Base has no clues at this point due to covering in felt. I would rather not remove unless absolutely necessary. [ATTACH=full]121155[/ATTACH] Now here is the odd part stylistically to my eye. Could of course be perfectly original: [ATTACH=full]121156[/ATTACH] Also, inside has a porcelain fitting (word "China") so thinking this was maybe rewired but they used the original the plug? [ATTACH=full]121157[/ATTACH] Would this have just been displayed with the top white shade open? Anything missing? I kind of like it without the white but want to keep it original. Thoughts to maker? Is there a name for a lamp with an open glass top like that? All thoughts appreciated! [ATTACH=full]121158[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
