<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 54020, member: 44&quot;]Terry, this is a footed hand lamp in the &quot;Ruffled Bullseye&quot; pattern. It is also listed/pictured in Thuro&#039;s <i>Oil Lamps</i> I, Section: &quot;Lamps 1900-,&quot; page 304, fig. b. as a stand lamp. Here&#039;s what it says:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;All the stand lamps on this and the opposite page are the so-called &#039;one piece&#039; lamps made on an automatic machine. ... The Ruffled Bullseye (b) and ...(c) and.... (d), have the collars that place their date of manufacture after 1910.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>The manufacturer isn&#039;t given soooo suspect isn&#039;t know for the pattern may have been manufactured by more than one company. As to the the collar, it is a brass insert collar. Here&#039;s what Thuro says about these collars on p. 40:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;... consists of a threaded brass inset inside the glass lamp collar. The glass [maybe] embossed Sept. 19 and Nov. 14, 1911.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;These collars are usually seen on a one piece machine-made lamps. The chief disadvantage of this type of collar is the fact that the lamp is useless if the thread becomes stripped. This is not too serious if the lamp is very inexpensive, but it may be a consideration in the purchase ....&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>--- Susan[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
