Grandparents wedding gift in 1920's

By blondemomshell, 25 August, 2007
Description

lamp photosthe base is bronze but sometime ago in the 1960's or 1970's one of my cousins painted over it with silver paint(dont ask me why) anyway the bronze is still under the silver paint which is flaking off in parts. I would like to have it restored to it's original glory but need some information on what kind of lamp it is exaclty and how to find the right person for the job.       My grandfather was some kind of big deal with AT&T in Chicago and in baseball there. I heard growing up that it was a Tiffany but I can not see any marks to prove that because of the silver paint. 

I have been looking in books and on line for a year to see if I could find one like it and the closest I can find would be a Handle or Tiffany but I really do nto know. It works great as  long as it has a light bulb.Thanks in advance for any help you can offer or advice.    God help me I tried to get my pictures toload and could not figure it out I have them so if anyone wants to see them let me know and I will Email them or try again! Sorry!!!!
