All i know about history: my wife is a real estate agent. Her 75 yo client is moving to Florida. The client lived in her house for over 40 years. She bought lamp at an antique store in upstate NY when she bought the house. 22.87 stamped under center light.
It's in good condition considering it's 131 years old. If you're interested, feel free to ask any questions you may have. I don't think i'll have this in my inventory for long.
