Bought this beauty online and love it. Was told it was from around 1910-1915. Has cool dome shade and 4 jewels on the shade as well. Stands about 12 inches tall. The Gryphans are in great shape and just add to the overall wow factor. Really neat desk lamp to add to my collection. Does anyone know the value or maker of this lamp by chance?

I ordered some new bulbs late Nov. for my lamps, they give virtually no heat and you can change the colours with a remote. I ordered my sister 3 also. They may work for some lamps you do not want an overly bright bulb in.
