I have a pair of electric mantle lamps made by “The Charles Parker Company”. They were my grandparents and I was told they may have received them as a wedding gift in September 1915. The metal is non-magnetic, likely brass, and is 12.5″ high with bulbs, 12″ high w/o bulbs, 7.5″ wide, and 3.5″ deep. Each “candle” has a pull chain switch. Both lights were rewired and are fully functional. I can find no specific info on them as to rarity, value, manufactured date, etc. Help please!
You did great,, thankfully they have not been rewired !!They are brass and I would not argue with that date or at least close to it !! Did these lamps ever have a shade of any sort ??
I don’t recall them ever having a shade. My first recollection of them was at my grandparent’s summer home and they sat on the fireplace mantel. That was in the late 1950’s. Still hoping someone can provide more info on them. Does anyone know of any person that has an interest on these things?
For some reason I am not able to post any of the pics. I even tried only doing one. What am I doing wrong?
