Just purchased this. Bottom column lights up, and the electric lighter still works. Only has one of three ashtrays, which I removed to balance the image. Circa 1930? Anyone have a clue to the manufacturer?
I don't know who made the stand but the glass including the lighter are Houze glass.Houze made glass pieces for several different companies.The lighter has uranium oxide in the glass which makes it glow under blacklight.Also I don't believe the lighter is original to the stand.These usually had a chrome lighter.It is a beautiful piece.
The lighter looks totally original, and have seen identical others. It is from sometime in the later 40's to 1950's when they were still making lots of this glass. This is the American version which were more deco looking than the Canadian models.
That’s nice, have one similar. Also think I might have inserts to yours.
