    Greetings!

    I acquired this Knight Light & Soda Fountain Co. #321 Sunray lamp at a nearby antique store. It came with papers including lighting instructions, generator invoice dated November 30, 1930 from Presto, postage tag, and typed parts list. I will post these in The Lamp Reference Library.

    It has a Presto Sunray Lamp "K" generator. The last two photos are close-ups of the generator.

    It has a ribbed, dome opal shade.

    That is a marvellous lamp you have. Congratulations.

    I think the Sunray were the first lamp that Knight Light actually manufactured most of.

    Here is a 1921 ad.
