the University sold them for all of $20.00 during the first half of the 20th century --this price included shipping...probably they were sold to alumni. Note - glass shade has been broken - lamp comes with no shade.

I am very interested in buying this lamp.  I know a little something about it.  My father has one and had to replace the glass also.  Think Blinko made the shade.

My Dad has one.  Recently the housekeeper broke the dome.  Hopefully we have found someone to make a new one in Asheville.  My aunt would love to have it as well as both of my siblings as we all went to Carolina.  My dad and aunt grew up in Chapel Hill.  Their grandfather was the first University doctor.  One was sold this past fall on Ebay for $500 I beleive but missed the sale.  What is the history of yours do you know and how did you get two?  Thanks.

My family also has generations of UNC graduates - I grew up in Chapel Hill - my father bought his 2 from elderly lady - friend of our family - he paid $500 for each one in the 1970's - 
 

500 on eBay sounds crazy -

I know, the Old Well lamp is one of my family's treasures.  I even wanted to take it to the Antique Roadshow but did not.  Wonder if our families know each other?  My dad grew up on Cameron.

Would love to buy your lamp.  Please let me know if you want to put a price on it.  Thank you.
