Antique Floor Lamp - Turned on
This lamp was given to me recently by an old high school classmate. The original shade had been broken years ago, and was missing. I found this shade, of the same period (early 1900's) in an antique mall. The shade cost me $45. This lamp still has the original screw-in plug on the cord, made prior to the two-pronged plugs we are used to. Our house, built in 1901, still has one of the original screw-in outlets, with a hinged brass cover, so this lamp plugs right in. We have an adapter to use it in a normal outlet.
