Hi Mike, that just joined!
Gail, WOW, I like your antique glass lamps. My hubby does have some insight on lamps and the green would be considered a miniature oil lamp and could be Consolidated glass , as a guess w/o reference to a book. As a suggestion, I would find a small glass chimney to add if you are going to sell it. Would make it more complete as a whole. The shell kerosene lamp is from The Pittsburgh Lamp, Brass & Glass Co. and aka as Pilabrasgo Lamp. The brass ring attached to the base, as well as the brass base shows it's a Pittsburgh Lamp. You can compare the base to other Pittsburgh Lamps to get a better ID design. Glass by pattern, don't know. It's a pretty kerosene lamp! Wish I could see what the shade would have looked like. If you sell, it is a great piece to have for parts to build a lamp. 😀
Fran, very pretty Northwood find and glad Scott was there to help. I liked the color variation. Certain styles of pressed glass can be my kryptonite. Gives me bad side effects, such as slow thinking process and the only remendy is to go through a book which takes some time to recover. 😀
Suzy, WOW!!! WOW!!! WOW!!!! is certainly a FUN word. I like using the smiley faces and you come up with some cute smiley faces too! How can you not smile back or feel happiness in the process? Say it loud and clear! ;D
Scott, I'm home soo much, I don't need those gadgets and consider myself lucky. Hmmmm... Big Brother... Wonder if there is any glass conspiracies out there? Just kidding!!! Nothing wrong with speaking your mind and takes courage to speak the truth for what you believe in, even if your considered the village nut and a smart guy who knows a lot about glass. 😀
Ginnyrose Carol, that is neat that you are a draftsman. I bet you have incredible penmanship. My husband was a firesprinkler designer before we started selling antiques. He really enjoyed it until everything started to switch over to CAD. He has remarked that he thinks it's sad that everything is done on a computer. A draftsman before could have their own individuality because it was drawn by hand. 😀
Don and George... Just wanted to say, Hi! 😀
Reen, hope you feel better soon. I liked you're EAPG pcs. Gail did a nice job with solving the mystery. 😀
Goodnight, to all the lovely glass people!!! 😀 Now I'm going to go watch a movie with family.
