    Found this old lamp on the side of the road

    What does everyone think? It appears to work quite well.

    I can't find any info on it - I don't see any brand name or stamp anywhere. its really heavy so I'm guessing its not some cheap knock off thing. Was wondering if it may have value of some sort. I don't want to scrap it.

    UPDATE

    It says "rainaud 45" on the inside of the base. I think its a mix fr iron or brass. The base has petina rust on the iinside...some chips here and there etc.

    From what I read about the company, they were around from 1916 to 1930. I can't find any information on this particular lamp though.

    Bridge arm floor Lamp brings up the most relevant images - https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...66.uRUq1oJQymE

    price ranges I found were in the 125 - 225 playground for this style

    finding an exact hit on the model you have might be tough but there are very close twins out there
    shipping costs could be a deal breaker
