First Lamp: Massive Sewing Lamp by Riverside Glass Company circa 1900. Second Lamp: Composite Lamp (made with different materials-slate base, painted milk glass stem, pressed glass font) made by unknown maker maybe Bradley Hubbard or E. Miller Glass Co circa 1890's-1900's. Third Lamp: Similar to second lamp, same era and with a "bulls-eye" variant Font and reverse painted glass stem and with cold painted flowers on outside; Possibly same maker as # two. RER(BOB)
Thank you so very much for your comments! We figured early 1900's but wasn't sure. We have about six more, but those 3 are the most ornate. Mother grew up in a log cabin of six family members, and actually the cabin remains today as a historical site. The local historical members bought the log cabin and moved it in to town.
Another tidbit about the cabin, the cabin was originally part of a family settlement that started right around 1800 I the U.P. we have information about it.
