<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 79411, member: 44&quot;]Welllll, that glass pattern isn&#039;t &quot;Frosted with Clear Bar.&quot; The Clear Bar doesn&#039;t have that design in the bar. I&#039;m not sure if that design are diamonds, Hobbnails, or just plain squares. I don&#039;t have an idea one for this pattern. I looked around on such EAPG sites as:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.patternglass.com" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.patternglass.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.patternglass.com</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The Early American Pattern Glass Society</p><p><a href="http://www.eapgs.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.eapgs.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.eapgs.org/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I doubt that collar was original with that wide brass shoulder/plate. That collar has &quot;deep annular grooves to strengthen the thinner sides and is either a Taplin-Brown collar or a Taplin-Brown style collar. Many Taplin-Brown collars have patent dates on them. The dates are &quot;April 13, 1875 and March 21, 1876. Do look the collar over. The patent dates on their collar is usually in the middle row between the 2 grooves. Without knowing the exact pattern name, I believe you are safe in dating this lamp to the timeframe of 1865-1880s because of the iron base and the collar. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a pic of the Taplan-Brown collar. Scroll about 1/2 way down the page to the section &quot;Bristol Brass &amp; Clock.&quot;</p><p><a href="http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_bristol.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_bristol.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_bristol.htm</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Hopefully a &quot;glassie&quot; will come along with help on the glass pattern!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
