I stopped into a store that exclusively dealt in lampshades along with other accessories for your lighting needs but also sold some new style lamps. </p><p><br /></p><p>I did not see anything that captured my attention so the owner suggested I check out the back room. That room was filled with pieces &amp; parts of every style lamp you could imagine. He then proceeded to put together a floor lamp for me from the different pieces &amp; parts. We then went back out front and found a shade &amp; a finial. I picked up a fully functional floor lamp a few days later that I used up until about 5 years ago when we moved into a new house. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":D" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>I would later learn that this guy would go to auctions, estate sales, etc. where he would buy lamps regardless if they were in good shape or not just to get the parts. He also had a booth at a local antique mall where he would sell his &quot;creations&quot; as well as some replacement parts for antique &amp; vintage lighting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
