<p>[QUOTE=&quot;morgen94, post: 81172, member: 217&quot;]This will reveal my age, more than anything, but the discussion of this interesting piece reminds me of the (1950&#039;s?) &quot;What In The World Is It?&quot; television show I used to watch when I was very little. IIRC, an unusual object was placed in the middle of a circle of wise men who proceeded to discuss and raise questions about the object until a consensus was reached as to what it was. Anyone else remember that?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I know nothing about early lighting, but when I first saw this referred to as a wall-mount lamp, my immediate reaction was the weight of the lamp on the end of that long, curved snake--and especially if it was filled with some liquid fuel--would be likely to break the snake/arm off. I noticed, too, that in the picture of how it would have hung, the OP&#039;s arm is supporting it near the place where the snake joins the mounting plate. For that reason alone, I am pretty sure the lamp hung from the ceiling as the Colza chandeliers did.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
