I just bought this great WB Brown lamp. I was thrilled to find it in issue 58 of American Bungalow. Pretty cool to have the same lamp as Dr. Michael Clark!

A very clean example of wooden lamp contruction. Can you tell if the slag is original?

Congratulations!

The slag appears to be original. It has some nice 100 year old dirt in the corners and is rough textured on one side and smooth on the reverse. The finish is perfect. According to Michael and Jill Clark's article on the WB Brown Company, the lamps were stained and waxed but varnished for an additional charge. This one was not varnished.

It also isn't marked. I don't think any of them are. The Clarks have a 1912 Brown catalog, but I don't know if it has or will be reprinted.
