WHERE AND I CANT FIND NOTHING LIKE THIS COULD SOMEONE HELP THANKS WILLIAM
I bought an identical lamp, with a different color glass, years ago at an auction. I repaired it but never noticed the P and H, but they are there. I would like to know how old this lamp is as well as where it comes from. And indeed what kind of value it has. Is it a rare item? I appreciate your help.
If I remember well the auctioneer used to make regular trips to PA to gets "stuff".
I have a lamp exactly like this but the glass is different. Any idea of the maker? I cannot find any info on this company logo: P H
I have solved the mystery! These lamps were made in Denmark in the late fifties and early sixties so they are reproduction lamps of very good quality. The maker's name is Poul Hornison (hence the P H). Had they been Philip Handel lamps they would be worth thousands. These typically go for $300-$450 at auctions and at this point are nice to look at but of fairly low value. Check out my lamp under this user name (adfreeman26) in the Show & Tell section of slag glass lamps.
