Good afternoon folks I'm seeking information about this lamp. It was gifted to me as a family heirloom in pieces. I restored it and would love to know more about it. It’s not for sale just simply seeking more of its history. Thank you Debra

Nice lamp I see you’re a musician wood wind
The burner was made by the Plume & Atwood Company, and the lamp may have been, too. It probably says "Queen Anne No. 2" on it, which is the style of the burner. Some history of P&A here:
http://www.thelampworks.com/lw_companies_p&a.htm
P&A burners and other parts were used on lamps sold by many other sellers. The glass parts were likely purchased from a variety of glass makers.
There are some reproduction P&A catalogs available. One is linked to from the site above. This may be a P&A lamp or one sold by another company using some of their parts.
P&A sold oil lamps and parts into the 1960s.
Based on the knob on this burner, it was probably a later burner, but pre 1955 when P&A moved from their Waterbury factory. It may help to date the lamp, or it may have been a replacement.
If the burner says "Eagle" it is 1950s-1960s.
Thank you all. I did see some of this information it doesn’t have any other markings. It seems many of these companies were entangled through the years by marriage and mergers. I have found several with the same type of scroll work but have been unable to find and identical one. It appears to have taken a fall sometime in its history it was bent and missing 2 of its flower knurls and possibly not its original lamp but it does fit perfectly. I was able to straighten it for the most part.
