Hey official. You can remove this from here if you choose. I would appreciate if you could take a look at a lamp I most recently posted on here and tell me if there is anything you know about. If not no big deal. It seems you have quite the collection of lamps and may know a thing or two about them. Have a great night...
I'll look and see if I can help.
