See the Light - 2/14/2008 7:13:53 PM    lobeycat Posts: 3776 Joined: 9/8/2003 From: RED SOX Nation Status: offline Had these a while. The green one on the end is new. Interesting bottles. A good way for the new collectors to get their feet wet and display something nicer than a common. Prices are usually under 20 for the clears. The colors go double that, sometimes more. Thought I'd share... Lobers. Attachment (1) _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RD8XDgVe2EU long lost recipe Post #: 1

Always a good thing when the wife enjoys your hobby as much as you do. And yeah, for the money they're hard to beat. With more people discovering the hobby the price of quality glass is creeping up at an alarming pace. The lamps have a little bit of everything. Age, interestings shapes, and a few nice colors. Most of them are British imports so the prices are relatively low. Good stuff!

Have dug a few nice parlor lamps too. Got several sitting around here. Here are a few alcohol lamps used by jewelers and watch makers. I really need to dig out some of my other lamps and put up pic of them too. _____________________________ Warren Diggin down in Dixie, USA Work is for people who don't dig bottles President, Panhandle Cruisers http://www.panhandlecruisers.org/ (in reply to mikmis) Post #: 5

RE: See the Light - 2/15/2008 2:03:41 AM    capsoda Posts: 7869 Joined: 11/15/2005 From: Seminole,Alabama, USA Status: offline Yep they get passed of as target balls on unsuspecting newbees. The all say Patd Sep. 14 1880.   Hey Josh, There are companies on the internet who can supply you with what you need right down to the plaster to put the top on. Bob, You should be able to find a complete clear on on ebay for chump change. That will give you all the parts you need but the parts won't be silver as the clear ones were made after WW1 and are plated. I don't have the silver works for the cobalt one because it is sitting in the wife's cobalt collection and she didn't wat to "mess it up" with all that silver. Harry Pristis had one on his site. Don't know if it is for sale or not but he couldn't find any info on it and didn't know what it was. Being a jeweler/watch maker it was easy for me because I used one all the time. There are supposed to be red ones out there but I have never seen any. I will jump one one if I do. Hey Anna, These were made from 1882 to 1913 or 1914. after that they were clear and ugly.
