[QUOTE="Abegweit, post: 251805, member: 3988"]I picked up a portion of an old hanging chain ceiling fixture, consisting of the chain, socket and tulip shade. The socket is stamped METEOR PAT APP’D FOR 250W 250V with a Bryant switch. The shade was covered in grime and dirt but looked like carnival glass and I had been looking for a shade to try on an old cast iron boudoir lamp I had picked up that gave up ever getting an original shade for. I cleaned the shade and looked at it several times for any kind of mark and seen none. Only after putting on a window ledge with the sun against it did I notice marks etched in the glass. Now I’ve done some research and know what the LCT initials “may” stand for if authentic, but I am unable to locate a similar shade image with this shape, exterior and especially the white interior. Was wondering if anyone had any experience, have or seen a similar piece that could provide some feedback. I have a lily lamp with the same style shade; I’m curious whether there would have been a suspended single light with this shade or whether it put on at a later time. Based on the grime on the socket and shade, they had been together for some time. I tried it on the boudoir lamp and think I’ll wait and try it on a bridge lamp to see what it looks like there. Any feedback would be appreciated. [ATTACH=full]77681[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]77682[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]77683[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]77684[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
