Title: Lamp Or Lantern?
Post by: zpwl on June 16, 2015, 10:15:56 AM
I found these while cleaning out a house. One expert told me it was a 70's lamp, another a lantern from the 50's. They are blown glass and I think made of iron. Can't find any markings on them. They are awesome and would like more info on them if possible. I have been searching for a week and can't find anything.

They do look like hanging lamps from the 70`s or around that time period !!  Can`t see the one on the left well !! The one on the right,, the larger one is made of standard sheet metal and machine made !!  Can you clean the small one and take better pics in daylight ??

Oh my, these are screaming late 60's and 70's....

Gold, clear, orange and green glass were more prevalent.  However, I did see some blue ones.

Hi Mart!  Yepper we have gotten over 3+" so far today.   Electricity went out for 5 hours (lucky it was a short one this time and not 2 days).  We have been in the middle of Bill's swirl - rain came from east and now is coming from west. Whoever is doing the rain dance can stop now! How are you faring?
