Message:: [QUOTE="verybrad, post: 388114, member: 37"]Gas shades usually have either a 4" or 5" opening.  Yours looks pretty standard but you may need to bend the prongs up to get a shade in there.  A shade would just sit in there with gravity holding it in place.  Typical shades from the era are clear with an acid etched pattern, though swirled opalescent, cranberry, and I am sure other shades are also appropriate.  Here is a typical (if not a bit nicer with that scalloped edge) period gas shade.  <a href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiP19ma6c_cAhXq6oMKHevcA7cQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpicclick.com%2FAntique-Cranberry-Glass-Fade-Victorian-Oil-Lamp-Shade-401565227874.html&psig=AOvVaw0eWPmIihVmgbB9cm2q60yG&ust=1533348834916782" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiP19ma6c_cAhXq6oMKHevcA7cQjRx6BAgBEAU&url=https%3A%2F%2Fpicclick.com%2FAntique-Cranberry-Glass-Fade-Victorian-Oil-Lamp-Shade-401565227874.html&psig=AOvVaw0eWPmIihVmgbB9cm2q60yG&ust=1533348834916782" rel="nofollow"><img src="https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/113156806550_/Antique-Gas-Light-GWTW-Oil-Lamp-Glass-Shade.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]
