The Nickel Guy Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Very similar but not exactly the same lampshade holders. Two orange / peach white base marbles were in them. They are about an inch or so in diameter. Can anyone tell me who made these marbles? They are nice and undamaged. The lamp parts appear to be from the 1930's or 1940's.

I'llhavethat1 Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Interesting. First thought was Alley, reinforced by the size...which led me to Jabo...more pics would help. Outside chance of slag with more than average white. Can't tell from pics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 19 hours ago, The Nickel Guy said: Very similar but not exactly the same lampshade holders. Here is the thing; these finials are easily interchanged---marble wise. Never sell them as original—who knows? If you are looking to sell these, include these facts. I have a pair that I purchased years ago but I sure will not say that the marbles are original. You can put any marble in these things if the size is right. Mine pair are both 1” Akro Agate corkscrews and I paid what the corks were worth. Heck, a Vacor may find the way into these just for kicks or a nice one good sided marble of any vintage for that matter in the right size. The only one that I have that looks “original” to me is a nice deep ocean blue ”Clearie”. It is on the neck of an old “Bridge lamp” (I put it there). My finials are of the same design as yours on the upper left image, the longer necked one. This is my thinking because of the different styles of the finials—these are not original. My opinion is that these are a later model swirl in both finials. Jabo imho. I posted images below, one is a "hanger" or pull type. Marble—On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted July 18 Author Report Share Posted July 18 As promised, better pictures. All sides shown. they can be seen larger. Open image in new tab. Best I can do with these 1 inch marbles. Still would like to know the maker and when manufactured. Yes I agree any marbles can or could be used in these lamp parts.

Steph Posted July 18 Report Share Posted July 18 At that size with that pattern, I think the marbles were made by Jabo-Vitro sometime between 1992 and 2007. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
