<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 54009, member: 44&quot;]Sharon, found the 2nd lamp, the one on the right. It is <i>Teardrop with Eyewinker with Plume</i> Font. The stem is Teardrop with Eyewinker. It is pictured in Thuro&#039;s <i>Oil Lamps</i> I, Section: &quot;Findlay Lamps,&quot; fig. d. Here is what is said about it:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;... Eyewinker with a plain font (c) or Plume Font (d) were made on a semi-automatic machine. According to Smith, Phillip Ebling, foreman of the Dalzell mold shop patented a lamp-making machine in 1899. Lamps made on this machine are of one piece with the inside of the font extending down into the stem.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>According to the 1st page of the &quot;Findlay Lamps&quot; section, this lamp as well as all of them in this section were made in Southwestern Ontario and are &quot;well documented in the book Findlay Glass Patterns by Don Smith.&quot; It goes on and says&nbsp; &quot;...all lamps in this section are in patterns made by the Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton Co.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Here are a few online:</p><p><a href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/findley-teardrop-eyewinker-plume-font-oil" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/findley-teardrop-eyewinker-plume-font-oil" rel="nofollow">http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/findley-teardrop-eyewinker-plume-font-oil</a></p><p>3rd paragraph down:</p><p><a href="http://gristmillanalytics.com/nightlightclub/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://gristmillanalytics.com/nightlightclub/" rel="nofollow">http://gristmillanalytics.com/nightlightclub/</a></p><p><a href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/findlay-plume-teardrop-eyewinker-lamp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/findlay-plume-teardrop-eyewinker-lamp" rel="nofollow">http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/findlay-plume-teardrop-eyewinker-lamp</a></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, if yours has the same collar as the one in the 3rd link above, it has an Ebling collar. These collars were common from c1890s to 1910 and probably later.&nbsp; According the Thuro:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;These are described in an advertisement by Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton Co. of Findlay, Ohio, as &#039;Patent, Improved, Shrunk-on Collars&#039; and claimed &#039;No Plaster, No Cement, No Leaky Lamps, No Weak Lamps, No Complaints.&#039; In Findlay Pattern Glass, by Don Smith, this collar is said to have been patented by Phillip Ebling of the Dalzell, Gilmore and Leighton Companp, Findlay, Ohio, and first used in May, 1894.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
