I have recently picked up and started to clean up an old lamp and was wondering if you could help to identify it? From my research, I believe the lamp to be a Nulite 110M however the shade looks like it could be from a Coleman Model R. I don’t have dimensions for a known Model R shade to verify mine. I have attached some pictures of the lamp in question. This is the first one of these lamps I have ever seen or owned so I don't know much about them.
Welcome to CPL @Justin A good lamp, and should clean up nicely . Congratulations. It looks like this Nulite 110 M version pre 1920 Nulite 110 M lamp I can't help regarding the shade.
Nice lamp Justin. Unfortunately that is not a No 74 shade (R reading lamp). The fitter would be either 4 7/8 or 5". Paul
The fitter is the lamp piece that holds the shade in place. In the case of Model R lamp the fitter (or cowl) is what hangs & supports the shade, and it would have had little thumb screws that when tightened, would have connected with the shade just under the top lip to allow it to be suspended over the burner. The shade would have a bottom diameter is 10", but fitter end of the shade need would have been either 4 7/8 or 5" depending on when the lamp was made.
I believe the correct shade for this lamp was the ‘pretzel’ shade. There are a few examples in the gallery including my blue tinted one.
