My daughter has a pair of those; cost her $5 each at
a yard sale two years ago.

I'm not spamming anyone. Thjis is an open public forum, I am not a
formal business operation, just an individual cleaning house and trying
to raise funds. This is the first time I have mentioned items for
sale, while I have asked questions about a number of items.
Obviously the person selling the very different lamps like the one
shown at the planetoranj page at the yard sale for $5 had no idea about
the desirability of their lamps. Look at the prices of the other lamps
at that site, search ebay for "eames lamps", especially in
seach-completed.ebay.com to see what these kind of items go for these
days.
FYI I emailed the owner of planetoranj and was informed that his price
(at which it sold) for the Woolums lamp shown there was $350.00 Again,
mine are a very different design, and I referenced this commercial site
only for those who saw the antique week photo to provide some reference
validation of the probable maker.
I have never understood people taking umbrage at what someone says in
in a message in a public usenet group, that they themselves voluntarily
clicked on and read. Spamming is massive broadcasting of highly
commercial messages by a business directly intio peoples' private email
boxes or across multiple inapprpopriate newsgroups. I am a private
individual offering one single (OK pair) of items for sale, making one
single announcement in one group that is appropriate for the message.
Chill out. If you don't care, then ignore the post. Sheesh. |

This is NOT a commercial newsgroup.

Just for the heck of it, I took a look at your links and was floored to
find out the Woolums lamp pictured was just like a lamp that I currently
have in my bedroom. Now, I'm going to do a little exploring on my own,
wnen I get the time...

However, after searching and searching and searching, I finally located
one rather different lamp that nonetheless has many significant design
similarities at the following internet location:
http://www.planetoranj.com/picpages/lm0196.htm
Or look about 1/2 way down the parent page:
http://www.planetoranj.com/light1.htm
The shown lamp, which was sold, with no price listed at the site, is
from V.M. Woolums Mfg Co.
The similarities are too close for mine not to be by this same very
rare and hightly sought-after maker: The tripod design of towering
wooden shade supports; the interesting angular treatment at the top of
the supports; the pull-chain with wooden ball at the end; the shaping of
the tripod supports where they meet the base; the shade that slides into
the tripod supports; the brass support rods.
