<p>[QUOTE="David Fields, post: 182804, member: 3284"]My name is David Fields and i purchased Modeline Lamp from it's founder, Bernie Roberts, in 1977. The lamp about which you are seeking information was, I believe, designed by john Keal, before i acquired the company. It would have been built in the '60s. John later joined me as a shareholder and in house designer. We had an excellent run with multiple new designs, including "California Cactus: by Charles Gibilterra. The old line was discontinued and the new designs were sold to most of the major retailers, ranging from Bloomingdales to Levitz. Unfortunately, we were over leveraged when the financial crisis of 1980 struck, which hit manufacturers of household interiors goods particularly hard, and closed Modeline's doors in 1981. I hope this helps!</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="mailto:djfields@blackboxadvisorsllc.com">djfields@blackboxadvisorsllc.com</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
