Hello all, I thought I might enjoy this lovely table lamp last night. She seems to be running well, and I enjoyed the company. Thanks for looking.
I love the shape of the CQ. I've got a base with a massive stress crack next to a substantial dent but it still looks beautiful... I'm still considering what to do with it... if anything.
I've got one too. I'll try to resolder it Otherwise I have a Canadian model (May 1927) and a US model The Canadian :
I have a question for you @Sellig33 is that lampshade made from an enamelware type of metal? Looks cool...just wondering
@Remus1956 In Europe we call this milk glass lampshade. I don't know how it's made. More informations here : Milk glass - Wikipedia
Remus, perhaps you meant ta ask that to the original poster Buggerlugs since his lamp actually do have the enameled metal shade no 334?
It does look very nice - but I bet it gets plenty hot. It must be lunchtime here as I then wondered if it would be hot enough to cook a naan bread on..
@Buggerlugs Is that an enamelware shade? Im trying to figure out what my options are for a coleman lamp I have coming today. Thanks! @Carlsson you got me haha...missed that one
I sort of suspected that it was Buggerlugs enamel shade you was asking about. That's as I said a Coleman 334, and I think it's a very good shade. Not for illuminating a room. That's better done with an opal shade like the one Sellig showed. But it gives a nice light on a table or side board. The Coleman I use the most actually has this enamel metal shade (link), and I have often used it positioned on a higher cabinet next to my favourite armchair for reading. And it won't break as easy as a glass shade
Coleman advertised it as an unbreakable shade. @Carlsson I believe you have explained it better than I could thanks. I also love this shade, and do the same by putting it up higher when I want more light. Generally I use it in the shed after working on projects and I put it on my bench and relax and enjoy the hissing in a not so well illuminated shed, as a glass shade would provide. Don't get me wrong its a magnificent lamp shade, built to last that's for sure. Most of all I love it, it's a beautiful lamp shade to have in my collection.
@Fireexit1 Well I'm not sure how hot it gets, maybe next time I might just have a feel, and let you know.
Here is a photo of my other shades for my CQ table lamps, as you can see its quite different than the others, and stands out from the crowd.
@Dean D Yes I have heard that, and I believe I was very lucky to find one thanks. I believe its all just plain good old luck thanks.
