I got this lamp from an estate sale. Underneath it has a letter F with Accurate casting. Thinking it may be a Falkenstein lamp? I found a smaller table lamp that looks identical. It is an amber glass melon lamp. It has a night light in the middle of the lamp. I'm not sure if this is rare or what. Any help would be appreciated.
Not rare, but nice mid century probably around 1970. They were from mid 1960's to about 1984. A lot of different makers. Apart from the name or just initials in bottom they usually might have a year. Most of them had no info. I have a pair with 2 initials and year 1973 which my father had. They often came with a pair of hanging lamps which made for a lot of glass. They also had nice metal diffusers which gave a beautiful glow to the light at the bottom. I actually came to love my fathers which I have now. He found the large set carefully laid out in the back alley and brought them home.
Here is listing for a pair:
