Title: Rare Asian Charleton Lamp AWCO
Post by: jumpontopski on December 01, 2012, 08:21:12 PM

So my wife picked up this lamp at an estate sale and I was immediately impressed with the size of this lamp along with the fact that it had a matching shade. We did some research and found that a guy and his wife actually wrote a book dedicated to The Charleton Line lamps. Based on the lack of data that we got from hours of research we assumed this lamp was pretty rare and listed it on eBay. Can you guys look at this listing and let me know if anyone here has anymore information that we may have missed. I have always received great feedback from you guys and appreciate any help you give us. Thanks in advance.

You went from listing it for $9.99 to $299.00 on a relist?

Please show pictures of marks/labels indicating it's origin.

hey mart,

The only label on the lamp is the red foil balloon label that says "Charleton" Made in Japan as seen in the picture I attached below. This picture is not of our lamp but from theglasshousenc.com and is the same as the one on the lamp. My wife has recently talked to the owner of that website who is the author of the book "The Charleton Line" and he has also not seen this lamp before but that is not uncommon for this line of lamps as they are very rare.
