I have had this for a while and received it from a old neighbor who had passed. I can not find the maker or even an exact match for this one. I can only find similar ones. I do find a 7 stamped on the bottom of the base but no other info. Any info would be appreciated!
this type of decoration of often attributed toe Carl Falkenstein
I read somewhere it could be a GWTW Fenton piece?
Tho' Fenton did produce many GWTW style lamps this isn't one of them. The term GWTW became popularized from the book and movie by the same name; tho' this style e of lamp had nothing to do with the civil war era from which that moniker is derived.
Thank you for that information. That is very helpful. How old do you think it might be? Id like to know if it would be worth passing it down to my daughter?
the styling on this one looks to be 1960s-70s.; try researching Carl Falkenstein. Here's another CW post with interesting details about the factory in the comments:
