This is my second posting on American lamps. In my first, I learned I had a Consolidated Lionhead top and a Pittsburgh Sunken Hollyhook base. But I still have a third lamp, which has the original shade from a lamp whose base broke the day we moved from Canarsie to Manhattan. Years later I did find a "matching" bottom, as you can see in the first picture. The second picture, shows still another globe on the Pittsburgh base. The third and fourth , courtesy of a fellow CW, are complete Pittsburgh lamp, and the Wrigley's advertisement (yes, as in bubble gum) for a Lionhead lamp.

Hi Alfredo! I'm new here and I noticed your lamps in show & tell.
I was wandering if you could have a look at the lamp I have & tell me what the heck it is.
Well, send it to alfavil@aol.com. In fact, I do not know much about American lamps. thanks to those who are helping me identify them.
