<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 1601505, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; Stiffel would be embossed some where on the shade metal. Also the fittings when you removed the base would also be marked as well as the electric switch under the base. Stiffel is marked just about everywhere you look. The newer stuff marked Stiffel just would not be as well marked. When the Stiffel company was sold to another maker they started to &quot;cheapen&quot; by using other companies to make pieces for the lamps.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /></p><p>One of the best estate sales I ever went to was the original Stiffel house in Paterson NJ. There were so many one of a kind lamps there. I ended up buying 3 one of a kind and 8 regular lamps. I just missed out on buying the dining room table by 15 minutes.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/redface.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" /> I ended up with two bed spreads which I sold for 20 times the price I paid.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
