[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 2219657, member: 51"]Nice finds all. Finally braved the reopened GW. Masks required which is good. Was fun to be in there, entire store was packed w/merchandise but nothing of interest. For some reason prices were up, and GW cut all of their tag discounts, kind of a drag for those of use who like to see a healthy turnover in merchandise. Between that update and fewer customers (local university being online) lots of stuff sitting unsold week after week. I had little hope of finding anything, especially since as I was walking in I saw two dealers walking out empty handed. Was just about to give up when I almost knocked over a lamp on the floor....covered with 4 unrelated lamp shades. Having nicely cleaned things out of my ping pong room storage, I'm trying not to get LARGE items so I really struggled, was this worth getting? Looked it over and all I could see was a gold label, completely worn off. Kept deciding when finally with a tilt of light I made 3 letters, "Fre..." Wait a minute... Frederick Cooper ! Once home in perfect light, confirmed. [ATTACH=full]254930[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]254931[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
