Cleaning out my Mother-in-law's stuff ran across these. I would love to know more about them. I think they are from the twenties. I have so much to post. All things were packed over 40 years ago and look so good.

These are bases for half-doll lamps very popular in the
40's and 50's. They usually had very fancy lace skirts
with matching lace shades. I recently found a similar one
complete with the original skirt and shade, but the doll
is not nearly as old or pretty as yours. Take a look on
EBay and you will be amazed at what ones like you
have are selling for in their condition. Great find, they
are lovely.
