<p>[QUOTE="Abegweit, post: 252181, member: 3988"]Thank-you for the feedback. I agree that the marriage of parts is a sure sign of tinkering and I have no illusions about a forged mark, still one can always dream (Tiffany Moorish dream). You would think that objects obviously made with such pride of workmanship would have used more unique marks, not that this would have deterred the forgers. I viewed a shade that's awfully close at <a href="https://eronjohnsonantiques.com/collections/lighting-shades-and-accessories/products/g0837-american-tiffany-studios-gold-ruffled-art-glass-lamp-shade" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://eronjohnsonantiques.com/collections/lighting-shades-and-accessories/products/g0837-american-tiffany-studios-gold-ruffled-art-glass-lamp-shade" rel="nofollow">https://eronjohnsonantiques.com/collections/lighting-shades-and-accessories/products/g0837-american-tiffany-studios-gold-ruffled-art-glass-lamp-shade</a> and the mark is all but the same, but this or any of the other shades for any of the companies had no inside white coating, this is what I find strange as such a unique feature, should narrow search results. Given your observations of the switch I thought you might find the image underneath interesting, it's from the cast iron boudoir lamp I mentioned earlier. I've never seen or found online a switch with a mechanism like this. On the socket is the following and yes the "G" is missing in pending and there is a character in front of the 60, but to worn to make out : BENJAMIN PAT'S. PENDIN (?)60 W 250V[ATTACH=full]77845[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
