    lamp.jpg lamp2.jpg lamp3.jpg Can anyone ID this lamp ?
    Marked on the bottom R. ? Co. NY
    15" tall
    I think the gold color area is brass; a magnet did not stick to it.
    Company name ?
    Age ?
    Value ?
    Any information about the lamp would be great!
    thanks : )

    I didn't think that actually but the only 2 that I could find with an 'R'. :)

    Try going into the bathroom, in the dark, with a flashlight and shine it across it at an extreme angle...

    Ok, thanks
    The first letter is an R. and it is clear but the second letter looks like an L. with the top
    crossed with a line like a T would be

    Thanks for all the info......
    I am guessing the company put 3 letters into two letters. Maybe, RTL or RLT. Only has 2 letters marked on the bottom with a Co at the end of it.
    Is there a web site to search lamp bottom stampings ?
    : )
