<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dgbjwc, post: 355788, member: 308&quot;]I can tell you that I would have passed.&nbsp; Maybe at half-price but even then I don&#039;t think I would have taken the leap.&nbsp; I think this is a case where the corrosion is more a matter of problems with the materials than with great age.&nbsp; I think most likely it&#039;s an inexpensive piece of Italian pottery that starts to flake at the first sign of moisture. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m also not convinced it was originally made to be a lamp base.&nbsp; Somehow the whole thing looks cobbled together.&nbsp; Maybe held sentimental value for someone or a project for a hobbyist who liked to tinker.&nbsp; If you like it and want to keep it fine but I doubt you&#039;ll get much value back on resale.&nbsp; JMHO.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
