It was amazing, but the best thing was I found this homemade soap that IS TO DIE FOR. So the lamps are a great find, but I was thrilled w/the soap. :) LOL! -MaggieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-51491944860396398992012-01-06T10:39:32.677-06:002012-01-06T10:39:32.677-06:00Can't help with the lamps.

A magnet will not stick to solid brass.<br /><br />I don't think they are "early" 20th Century. Remember that electricity first came to homes in the form of ceiling lights. Then we had the war with rationing of metals. <br /><br />I'm pegging them at late 40's to mid-50's. <br /><br />They are the PERFECT match to your mid-century buffet!<br /><br />And you can find finials at places like Marshalls, Tuesday Morning.... or online at Restorer's catalog out of Woonsocket SD.Miss Effiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07840863444770266279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-33082453004817206982012-01-05T23:41:05.371-06:002012-01-05T23:41:05.371-06:00The 'marble' is probably Onyx, and the sti...The 'marble' is probably Onyx, and the sticks possibly weighted spelter. As for age, I would think they are early 20th C.

LOL Fannie greated me at the drive. Her fine feathered friends also came up to greet my bright red ripe tomatoe colored car...I think it was to peck the seeds out until the realized... and one of the small furry critters snooped at what was inside when the car door was open. The cows and pigs were curious and keeping a watchful eye to make sure no funny business was going on. I do enjoy my road trips and once I get the hard cheese thing down I may be making a few more trips. BTW the lamps are very nice.Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-39671865444865327022012-01-05T21:27:38.620-06:002012-01-05T21:27:38.620-06:00Okay - you just proved that we need to enlarge our...Okay - you just proved that we need to enlarge our circle of bloggers to include antique buffs!!<br /><br />Lanawww.FarmLifeLessons.blogspot.comhttp://www.farmlifelessons.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212817062207309616.post-24946902298203815802012-01-05T20:24:45.151-06:002012-01-05T20:24:45.151-06:00Carolyn.
