    Hi everyone

    I picked these lamps up from an estate sale. They came in a giant tote of other lamps and they are in pretty rough shape and came with a couple live spiders. They work and I’m sure I can spruce them up with a little elbow grease. I’m wondering if anyone had any info on these lamps and when they were from.

    Thanks :) 8D4227DB-9307-4AD4-B4B9-AFDBB0A9C47E.jpeg

    Current events have me thrown back to the 60s & I know it's affecting my perception of things. Trying to remember whether lamps like the pair were being sold in the 60s or it was just that people who furnished their homes in the 50s still had them. Guessing the little calla lily lamp is 60s. What kind of bulb would you use in it? Think knowledgeable folk will want to see cords & plugs clearly.

    The bulbous ones late 60's going into 70's to me. The tulip one earlier 60's... just guesses...

    The cats put holes like that in me when they decide to pounce on my feet.

    I'm assuming is was mood lighting. The side with the little holes is the front. It provids indirect lighting by bouncing it off the ceiling. Not something to read by. Groovy, man, groovy.
