THIS IS AN AMAZING FIND...

IT IS MOST LIKELY 1930-50's PER MY INTERNET RESEARCH AND IS MADE OF A HARD PLASTIC CELLULOID MATERIAL. THE PIECE IS ACTUALLY A SHADE FOR AN ELECTRIC LAMP AND THE MOTIFF IS RAILROAD AND TRAINS - OLD TIMNE TRAINS!

THE SHADE CONTAINS 6 LITHOPHANES, COLOR PAINTED ON THE INSIDE OF THE SHADE AND AS WELL AS THE EXACT IMAGE EMBOSSED ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SHADE. IT IS SIMPLY ADORABLE AND GREAT FOR A CHILDS LAMP OR THE RAILROAD COLLECTOR. THE FINIAL IS AN "X" RAILROAD CROSSING SIGN DESIGN. THE PHOTOS SHOW HOW THE IMAGES GLOW WHEN I ELD THIS UP TO A CELIING LIGHT...

THE SHADE WAS ONCE A "CLIP ON" - AS IN THERE WAS A METAL PIECE ATTACHED THAT CLIPPED OVER THE LIGHT BULB BUT THAT METAL IS NOW GONE.

THIS MEASURES ALMOST 7" TALL AND THE SHADED IS 5 1/2" WIDE AT THE BOTTOM.

I FIND NO BREAKS, CRACKS OR REPAIRS; HOWEVER, PLEASE NOTE THE FINIAL WILL SPIN AROUND IF YOU MOVE IT AND IT DOES NEED THE METAL CLIP THAT GOES OVER THE LIGHT BULB.

PLEASE REVIDEW MY PHOTOS AND CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
