    A very attractive combination Tony.

    And the layers of mysteries?

    @AussiePete

    All will be revealed… but in the meantime: lamp model/who made the shade…? Oh. The glass is also odd.

    Very nice Tony !

    Always hard to tell scale from pictures but do you think the shade would suit other lamps as well or is the size more suitable for this smaller one?

    Always great to see the lamp with the shade and even better to see it lit :)

    I’ll play, at first glance the tank appears to be a Canadian built Coleman 128C.

    Shades are a weak subject for me; I simply find one I like at a antique market.

    Let’s see the globe.

    John is correct about the lamp. It’s a Canadian Coleman 128C in cream with gold highlights.

    The shade is shown here:

    Coleman Shade

    It is the same as the shade that was on the lamp when I got it, except that particular shade was like this:
    3A3BBE84-AA60-483B-A70D-835C28AC82CC.jpeg

    The plastic shade was brittle and broken. I keep the good one in a box.

    Apparently these shades were available through Coleman-Thomas (CJ Thomas & Sons/Coleman Quick-lite Co. Of Australia).

    I’ll get this lamp in the Reference Gallery this weekend, hopefully.

    Cheers

    Tony

    Very nice Tony, does it happen to still have the ink stamp on the bottom?

    Yes. It’s got the ink stamp. I’ll put that in the Reference Gallery when I post it.

    Cheers
