    Interesting lamp!! Don't know what the figure is in the left mark, but all I was able to do was sharpen a bit (caveman with a tuba?:rolleyes:).........the middle mark with what I presume is a lion (?) has some VERY tiny writing on the left perpendicular side of it's shield, but all I even 'THINK' I can make out is "AG" in the middle of whatever the word is......your image of the marks is great, so couldn't improve it much!!!
    @terry5732, do you know the origin of your lamp? It LOOKS like it could be early to mid 1800's (just my guess) but the country, don't know....doesn't look American......

    I thought the left guy had a bagpipe
    There is no text on the lion rampant stamp, just edge breakage

    That looks like a bagpipe player to me, too.

    The LA is similar to another L mark In the Pewter Marks section linked by Holly. It appears to be from Finland.

    What did you see?

    This is a big stretch of the imagination, but the Dutch had a figure walking (bottom row, image from this thread->). If it's Dutch, maybe the "A" is for Amsterdam. Probably way off here:

    Under Town Marks, scroll down to Finland, Terry.

    I see what you saw now
    I would have really guessed this was something made for the US Bicentennial market
    The edges are sharp on the soft metal
    Near new condition to me
