[QUOTE="42Skeezix, post: 17119, member: 40"]Are there any markings? I wouldn't be surprised to find a very small patent date or logo, especially on the brass bits. I see there's a pair. The handle of the one in back looks like it mounted in something. Just looking at the one photo I gotta say it's an interesting set. BTW the swingy mechanism is called a gimbal so this would be a gimbal mounted lamp. Might indicate a nautical origin as gimbal mounts are well suited to the constant motion of boats and ships.[/QUOTE]
