    I have two small old wooden lamps in a water pump design.
    The lamp on the right side has the name "FRED ELLIS" and the numbers "8-2" engraved on the lamp button.
    Both of the lamps have very old wiring and plugs.
    Does anyone have more information on these kind of lamps, e.g. who Fred Ellis is, approx. age of lamps, ...)?
    Thank you very much!

      Have seen these before either on ebay or etsy. Have not really studied them before.

      I have not been able to find anything comparable after many hours of research.

      Thank you very much for your resonse. The wires and the plugs are very old - does anyone know, the approximate age of the pump lamps?

      The age of the one would probably be 1902. 8-2?

      We had one of these in our family. The story is my father made this in school. It was a shop project. Approximately date early 1940's. Name could be the person that made it in his shop class.
