[QUOTE="tinpanalley, post: 10041061, member: 87742"][B]-- This is in Montreal, Canada --[/B] We found [URL='https://imgur.com/a/evn7jRq']this lamp[/URL]. Yes, found. Near our waste area in our building. Clearly, someone who didn't want to figure it out didn't want to bother having the other swan handle attached or having the socket redone. Luckily I have remade several sockets on several lamps and I knew I'd find the screws that hold the other swan handle inside the vase and sure enough, they were rattling around in there. There are still two washers in there that I can't get out. So.. the question, given that this is intact and in fantastic shape [LIST=1] [*]What do you call the metal ring that goes around the socket and bulb that holds the lampshade in place, because I'll need one of those. [*]Any thoughts about how to take this thing apart to get out those two washers rolling around inside? [*]How would the other handle get rescrewed back into place without access to the inside? [/LIST] And finally if anyone can identify it in any way? Style and decade? I'm think French Empire style mid-century? Plastic power plug suggests 1950s or newer, right? Thank you![/QUOTE]
