There is no brand on them anywhere. I hope you're correct. I'd love to know more about the lamp. It may make it much less rare, but I'd have information, and know how to get another, etc. A vintage store in Memphis called Flashback has had 2 on their jewelry counter for decades. They have tags on them that say "Not For Sale". That is the story that they have told customers for years. The few time I'd seen others for sale when in Memphis, they asked a LOT of money for them, and the sellers all knew the same story, too. So I'm pretty confident that the stock of them that regularly shows up at vintage retailers in Memphis came from the Thalhimer's cosmetic department. The date of 1940s comes from the fact that that particular Thalhimer's department store was built (with much fanfare) in the late 40s. It was a fabulous Art Deco department store, that was built to be their flagship location, in its day. These lamps fit the aesthetics of the space very well, though they may well have been accessorized later. Any more info you have on them is certainly appreciated. cheers, Chris associated web images (optional) associated web link (optional) your email your password create a forums account \| you forgot your password?
