    1. PhilDMorris PhilDMorris, 5 years ago
      These lamps were produced in Brooklyn, New York (in the 1950's) by art students who were attempting to create sophisticated, highly collectible lamps. I seen one of the female lamps in brown on the net.This style lamp has the stamp FAIP on the base, and there seems to be some debate over what this represents. One school of thought - it stands for "Fine Art In Plastics" while others claim it stands for "Federal Arts Initiative Program." It does seem plausible that a group of artists were creating these since there are lots of different shapes and styles of these lamps.
