[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 437209, member: 51"]Wasn't sure what forum to use for this lamp. A couple of questions below. Age? Maker? Guessing 1970s-1990s, but would love to hear thoughts. Even wondered if it could be newer still. Chrome or some kind of base metal. 26" high, shade is pretty large at 18" across. Gilbert plug is ungrounded with equal size blades. (I see that this kind of plug is still available for sale, but would a modern lamp from 2018 have one like this or does this ungrounded style give us a clue?) Inside of the shade has a white finish. Sticker on side of base reads: Exxon Enterprises, Pasadena, CA with a serial number. Not suggesting that Exxon made this -- maybe an inventory number for something that was in an Exxon Enterprises office at one time? Sockets are ceramic. Base is heavy-- sort of filled with a stone like substance. Base is covered with felt, no makers marks anywhere. Thanks for taking a look. Any thoughts on maker or age?
