I bought this, because it is so pretty. The rose colored glass is very attractive, and the flowers appear to be hand painted, as some of the line details stand in relief.
I can't seem to find any markings on it, other than an number on the base, 3001.
The globes light up individually, or together. The plug on the end of the cord has EIW molded on it, between the blades. Oddly enough, even the bulb looks old, as it is clear, rather than the frosted bulbs I am accustomed to seeing. It's made by Westinghouse, and the insulator around the center of the bottom connector, is blue glass.
I was just wondering if anyone knew how I could find out anything more about this, maker, date of manufacture, etc.
But this one is electric. Did they call the electric one hurricane lamps as well.
Please pardon my ignorance, but I had always been under the impression that the hand held kerosene lamps, with the wire frame around the globe, and no Rail Road markings, a hurricane lamp.
Thank you very much for your help

Hunt Or B.Hurt I am also inquiring info on this lamp as to how old and how much it is worth. on bottom of the base the only markings I have on it is Accurate Casting Co. With the letter F under it.

These are generally listed as GWTW Lamps (Gone With The Wind); named after the movie and book. They are available in a wide range of colors and similar designs. These were widely marketed in 1960s in many of the department and furniture stores of the day. Sometimes also called hurricane or banquet lamps to, but most often GWTW
