This lamp was a steal! Now I have to figure out why it won’t work. I’m not good about rewiring anything or replacing sockets….

Beautiful 50s lamp. Ditch the shade though you already know that.

Absolutely. I hate it when I can’t find the right shades. There are lamps I won’t bring out til the shades are right.

I wonder if you know about Moon Shine lamps? Killer lampshades:

What a great source! Thanks so much for that link. I generally stick to pure vintage but it’s so hard to find 50s lampshades in great condition and the patterns and shapes they offer are fantastic. So the next time I’m stuck I may head right here.

Oh, thanks for this! I have a lot of great lamps sitting around shadeless and unused because I can’t find anything suitable.

Hi Lisa, thanks for the link. Looks like it could end my quest for some good shades instead of ruining a lamp with an ugly generic white shade! I bookmarked this one!

That’s a great lamp!! Usually a lamp repair kit from your local hardware supermart can put one of these right in a jiffy.
