    Thought since you like glass, I would show you this no2 cranberry glass lamp. It has a marble base, it also stands almost two foot tall, size comparison to a B&H composite lamp from the 1880's. I also almost has a heart attach when I picked it up last week at a Antque store. I bought it for less than $20, it is amazing what people sell, and don't know what they have. It is crazy. Enjoy j. Hope you like it.

      Has the Cranberry font on your tall lamp been drilled through to make it electric at one time? If not, then it was a fantastic purchase. RER
      PS: I also like your "Eugenie" B&H lamp.

      No it has not been drilled. I also have over 100 composite lamps in my collection. Thanks
