Victor Schreckengost

MADE AND MARKED COLONIAL

I SEE MANY LAMPS AS THESE I HAVE GOOGLED AND SEARCHED THESE ARE I BELEIVE NICKLE OVER METAL FOR THE MOST THEY ARE SILVER AND THEY HAVE BEEN AIRBRUSHED WITH BRASS COLORING ON HANDS AND ARMS AND FACE  AND HAT . THE HAT IS NOT RED  W/ BRASS COLORING

THE RINGS FITTINGS I BELIEVE ARE BRASS

VERY HEAVY LAMPS ALMOST 11 POUNDS EACH NOT WRAPPED THEY STAND APPROX 29 INCHES. TALL WITH THE GLASS DEFUSERS  THEY STAND APPROX 33 INCHES

  BOY WITH A BEAUTIFUL PAIR OF VTG SHADES THEY WILL BE VERY TALL THEY ARE SO APPEALING AND JUST STUNNING .

I AM SORRY THESE REALLY NEED TO BE REWIRED THEY HAVE THE SAME SIZE PRRONGS AND I ONCE PLUGGGED IN AN OLD CORD AND CAUGHT THE LAMP ON FIRE PLUS THE BREAKER STOPPED ON THE ENTIRE HOUSE.
