Description

I got a lamp from a friend that says they got it at an auction I do not know how much they paid for it. It is a hand painted glass lamp with gold trim and some kind of metal/brass claw like legs on a square metal/brass box base. It has a couple of different stickers on it one says underwriters labratories and the othe says hand painted and something Germany. I think it says made in Germany. It has a mark on the bottom of metal/brass box base that says F54 it also looks like there is some sort of stamp/mark up under the claw leggs but I can not make out what it says because the box base is in the way.
