My hours of researching this piece has brought up only a few "Kind of" options as who made it, where, age, etc...
I purchased at a rummage sale in West Michigan, along the lake shore. I was unsuccessful in getting any info from previous owners, other than, he said, it was in his grandmother's basement for at least 30 or more, years. His grandmother is in her mid 80s.
By looking at it, I know this much.
The only damage I can see is that there are small chips around the holes of the glass pieces. Which you can only see when the pieces are not mounted, otherwise they are hidden behind the brass bolts. I Assuming the chipping was caused from the lamp being moved, jossled around, and the glass rubbing against the metal post and brass screws. I placed simple rubber washers to buffer any further damage.
I'm hoping to find out any info on this lamp. I intend on listing it for sale soon and it would be greatly appreciated if anyone knows about this lamp.
Thanks in advance.

OP,
Didn't you ask about this lamp last year on the PGP board.?
I recall you were given some very good advice/information at that time.

You're correct, I did post last year. However, I was hoping that someone with "fresh" eyes would see it and recognize it as something they've seen before (not including my post from a year ago) And yes, I am happy with the information and advise I received. However, this lamp has a history and I guess my interest in the "who and what" is more important than the value of it.
Also, I'm curious to know if there is a limit to posting questions on the same item, or is it simply faux pas to post a question (same item) more than once in a lifetime? I didn't see that in the rules.
By the way, what does OP stand for?
