<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 1524549, member: 37"]Material is likely iron for these, though they could have some brass parts. Use a magnet to test. These would be from the 20s- 30s. As I said above, your bridge lamp shade is not original. It would have had a cloth shade. Adding glass shades to these was very popular in the 80s and 90s. Made them more appealing but also sometimes caused them to be top-heavy and prone to falling over. Yours looks to have a good heavy base so this may not be an issue.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
