Product Description:
Original coordinating shade for 1955 Oil Lamp Clear Paneled Glass P & A Risdon. Vintage design similar to an old fashioned milk bottle. Top ring is encircled with raised dots or hobnails. Glass is lightly tinted in green around the upper edge of the shade. Bottom fitter edge measures 2 7/8 inch across, and will fit inside of a 3 inch holder/opening. Flared top edge measures approximately 2.75 inches across and stands 8.5 inches tall.
These lamps were very popular back in the day, recognizable by their strong sturdy base with pebbled glass effect, and tinted in assorted colors, like green, blue, and amber. It is rare to find these lamps with their color still intact and even rarer to find the original shades that went with them. These lamps and shades must be cleaned very gently. Vigorous scrubbing will remove the tint.
Please measure your socket fitter very carefully prior to ordering. Even 1/8 inch difference in diameter can cause the glass to not fit.
