Hello everyone...I recently came across this lamp when I was going through some old family boxes. Not knowing very much about glass lamps I've been doing my best to learn about similar pieces. I'm afraid that there is no maker's mark that I can see with a 10x loupe and I can see striations within the cuts or bevels...from what I understand these clues seem to point to a recent manufacture. I, however, would still like to assemble the lamp and am having a hard time finding a tripod shade holder that would support the weight of the shade. If I could receive some info on where to find a holder (I suppose it needs to be cast) and some suggestions on what type of wire and socket to use that goes with the style I would very much appreciate it. Even if I receive tips on how to research these things more effectively myself I would be grateful.
Thank you for your time in helping a beginner...and I believe that even though this piece may not be very old, restoring it will get me started on a new passion!!
