[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 355949, member: 51"]Johnny, me too. Never understood it before! You guys are amazing! (Edit: Was writing this as you posted, Brad. Seems we came to a similar conclusion.) Definitely have a lot more information plus a fantastic match. If I sell it, I'll be thrilled to get even a fraction of the 1st Dibs price. Having the lamp in hand, coffee in hand, AND comparing it to the helpful link (which has 6 photos of all angles) I've made a few additional observations. The lamp in the link (which seems to be a larger version of mine -- 4 green bubbles, mine has 3) seems identically wired and set up for a torchiere top. Here is the insert in mine: [ATTACH=full]121196[/ATTACH] Here is the one from the link: [ATTACH=full]121197[/ATTACH] So they must have intended a diffuser with this. Both have that hardware for it with 3 screw-holes to hold it tight. Whether this patterned white shade is original to mine or not remains to be seen. The fit is exact, but I imagine things were more standardized back then so a replacement is not out of the question. After seeing the linked one I had a brief concern --what if mine was supposed to have 4 bubbles and one broke? But luckily there were measurements in the 1st Dibs one, and it stands (to the top of the torchiere fitting) to 30 inches, mine goes to 25 inches, so thinking I just have a smaller version of the lamp. The two in Debora's photo almost seem to be redone with the metal so shinny and perfect, possibly replated. Maybe at that time they added a harp. Thanks for the help with this.[/QUOTE]
