[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 21259, member: 25"]The second one has a slightly everted top rim enabling it to be held in position with three pointed screws that do not clamp it tightly, so allowing some expansion when hot. I have a similar arrangement in one light fitting in the house that dates back to the 1920s. That one is probably from a similar period. The third shade appears to be round, which makes your dimensions puzzling, but we had 2 and now have one bowl shaped shade, the open side facing upwards, secured by a rod which has three bulb sockets attached. Our bowl shapes are flatter and wider but I am assuming they are the same in essence. The first one is an unpleasant colour, who'd reproduce that?[/QUOTE]
