Title: UL Wildwood table lamp
Post by: Alex on July 22, 2012, 06:55:23 PM

Hello everyone,

I have a table lamp made by Underwriter Laboratory Inc. with a sticker that says it's a Wildwood portable lamp. The lamp features Japanese motives.  Do you know what could be the price range for it?  Thank you in advance!

Your lamp is probably from 70`s or 80`s !! Underwriters laboratories does not make lamps !! What they do is approve the safety of it and its parts when used correctly !!  Can you take a pic of the label ??

I wouldn't consider this a portable lamp...granted it isn't affixed....but if you walk too far it will unplug and not work....hmmmmm.

mart, I have added another picture, however I don't see any other markings or description to find out the maker of the lamp.
KC,   ;D idea of portability has changed

Been in business since 1900 and making lamps since 1969 !!  Not sure but the portable may just mean can be moved from room to room !! Or could have gotten the wrong sticker put on when made !! Back in the 70`s and 80`s Ginger jar lamps were very popular !!  Thats what your lamp is,, a ginger jar lamp !!

You mean what it would sell for ?? Not a lot since there are many of them !! I would guess $20. or $25. !!  You can find them at most flea markets !!  But still a good usable lamp !!
