2 Leviton crystal boudoir lamps, approximately 14" tall. I don't really know much about these. I got them from a yard sale for $7 for the pair. Would like to clean them up and replace the prisms as they are very cloudy and several are missing.
Leviton is a mfg for electrical devices; so only the maker of the light sockets in this case. These type of lamps were made by jobbers who assembled various parts from different sources, and often marketed these types of lamps thru big box and dime stores.
Thanks TallCakes. I kind of thought that Leviton was just the electrical parts. It was the only marking I could find to.identify it. Thanks for the info!
Do you know approximately what year(s) these would have been manufactured TallCakes?
if you could determine the patent date for the socket there might be a chance to date it. My guess is 1950s-60s +/- . The lamp I have made with shades has a similar looking Leviton socket with the push-thru switch that's red on one side and black on the other.
I have a very similar pair I got from an estate. Somehow the original globes have disappeared (not happy).
I did need to rewire since the cords had been cut...did not find any makers identification.
