<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 218769, member: 78"]Hi,</p><p> I guess my age is showing. Every year from 1955 to 1967 I would purchase a Stiffel lamp to go with my older ones. All of them were brass and one or two would have a white metal pseudo candle light on top. I started to see other metal parts in the 70s. I never saw any wooden parts on the lamps until the 80s. That is why I called them the older Stiffel. The newer Stiffel did not have the weight that that older ones had. The newer ones for sale were cheaper made and did not have the appeal that the older ones had. All the parts of the older ones all had Stiffel labels, the lamp itself, the shade and the electric parts. I hated to see old lamps with new shades. When my shades got ratty or destroyed I always went to a shade replacement place that redid the old shade using the metal frame. It was often cheaper than buying a new shade.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
