[QUOTE="mcburja, post: 292963, member: 5910"]Hi all. This is my first post, and I'm hoping that someone out there can help me to learn more about my pair of heavy (bronze?) lamps. I purchased the pair at auction in Toronto about 30 years ago, and have used them ever since. I've had no success identifying anything about them. The lamps are VERY heavy. The shades are rolled metal, but fairly light. The finials appear to be original to the lamps. The plugs are brown and dome-shaped - not sure of the material (maybe bakelite?). I can't find any markings on the lamps. On the underside of the base is green felt, but not sure if I should lift it to look for markings.

Can anyone help shed some light (ha ha) on them for me?[/QUOTE]
