Message:: [QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1431828, member: 11100"]Forever-and-a-day, my Mother always referred to this as a Tiffany-era lamp globe.  She removed from my Grandmother's home prior to selling it (right down to the hanging hardware) around 1970, I'm guessing.  I recall it as a child, and am now in my late 50's.  In putting away Christmas items, I came across it again, and thought I'd ask your opinion on in.  My Mother had packed away the hardware and displayed the globe upside down with her prized possessions.  Any thoughts on its origin, whether the hardware & globe started out together, etc.  Just any info, in general.  Globe is 5" high w/ diameter of 5.5."  Globe has no chips, scratches, etc.  Just the single dark dot seen in one of the photos. Base is marked "Made in USA" and "Pat'd SEP. 23.90"Mid-section of hardware is a little tough to make out, but I think it's "P.T.D. June 13. 99", and second line "56 CP 250V"  Two obvious dents on either side of the bell-shaped thing. A penny for your thoughts, because as always, space is at somewhat of a premium....TIA [ATTACH=full]223927[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]223916[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223917[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223918[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223919[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223920[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223921[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223922[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223923[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]223924[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
