I love them. I am a late starter in the realm of motion lamp collecting. I own several old lava lamps, and kerosene lamps, but hope to gain a good collection of the motion. Thanks for sharing!
Those are very nice short Lincoln Drape aladdin lamps . The two matching ones . I have a few oil lamps . I did have a tall Linclon Drape aladdin lamp in ruby red , but I needed money a few years ago and sold it on e-bay . How were you able to find the two matched ones ?
Those are Washington drape lamps.
Oops ! So they are . The Lincoln drape hangs the other way I think . It has been a while since I have had my lamp to look at .
Yes you are right those are washington drape lamps, and I bought one on ebay and the other I got at an antique show. i also have two tall Lincoln drape lamps one of which was my grandmothers.
That is so nice that you have your grandmothers lamp .
Lamp Heaven !!
