Good day I was fortunate to attend the ICCC Convention in Ohio where Darcy Vantiger debut her new GPA shade book. Never being one to not embrace any new resource related to Lamps and shades my studying commenced. A week ago I felt confident enough to begin my deeper hunt. Within twenty minutes I found this which was delivered on Wednesday. We have here a AGM Model P67 I believe but more importantly it’s original shade holder and probably shade. It is not often one comes across an AGM Tamo Shanter shade. Thank you! Kevin
Jeff Thank you and luck does play a part but persistence wins the day. I spend no less than one hour per day searching out shades. The number of primo pieces I have passed on, do to not knowing what they are is staggering. Thank you Kevin
Rob Yes it did. I made a decision to disconnect from the web last night around 8 PM. A little to early as another collector texted me a link to a nice shade we both want. There will be more! Thank you Kevin
Beautiful shade!!!! Do you have an image of the shade holder? I have a P67 early that came without shade or holder but with the retaining nut. TIA
I will post a picture Monday. It’s on my desk at work. I agree! yes it is, I’m hoping to wash it soon so I can get a picture while it’s lit, there is a small crack in the neck
yes indeed, remnants of fringe. Wish more of the fringe remained. The Vantiger guide references white fringe unless fringe was ordered to match.
Thanks Dean. It might be a good reference for a early Tan-O-Shanter! Wish I would have thought about that a few days ago!
@bigredmf Would that shade have been available in a natural opal finish (white) at all?? sorry about the time lag many thanks pb
Yes Though there are a multiple tamoshanter shape shades. From memory a AGM with a opal Tam shade would be a more bulbous profile like this cased green example. Though now I’m thinking they used both. I can confirm in the AM,
Thanks for that I have a shade but I need to measure it and perhaps make a template that I could lay on some graph paper? a half template would do I spose.. cheers, pb
@bigredmf Hi there I don’t know any history of this shade, I just thought the overall shape looked similar to the first one you posted? I took some measurements and photographs to maybe help..
