Our back attic is great to spend a rainy afternoon in. In my great grandfather's and grandfather's time was used as storage for our store. I found several banker's lamps, the original ones with inkwells, and I found two glass shades in reasonable condition. I picked a base with a marble bottom in the penholder and restored it. My sister still has to restore hers. Yesterday she found an Art Nouveau glass lamp shade, today we're going to see if we have the parts in stock to make a working light out of it. When I'm in the mood for a project I go upstairs to see what I can dig up, consequently I have too much lamps in my room but it's great fun to restore things.
Yesterday I also found a huge pile of screws, all wrapped up by size in newspaper from January 1940.
