    This is a Underwriters Laboratories portable cat lamp issue no. L-628. It is initialed on the inside under the ceramic clear coat with a G and a L in personal handwriting. there is a impression stamp on the back but I cannot make out what it says or what the letters are (see pictures). its in perfect condition and still works and I love it. Its just a mystery beyond those facts. I would like to know how old it is, who's initials are those and whats the value? I would like to tell the story to all that ask when they see my great lamp in my home . Thanks

      Hello,

      This is not the same lamp but if you read this you will see that the stamp stand for KRON and the letters are are for production and manufacturing.

      This is the most frequently seen Kron design. Extremely popular, it was by far the best selling TV lamp to come out of Texans Inc.

      As is often seen on Kron TV lamps, the cat's original felt is stamped TEXANS INC. Bangs, Texas. After '71 this stamp had the letter "B" following Texans Inc., denoting production at the Bangs plant, or the letter "D" indicating manufacture at the new Del Rio facility.
