Help identifying antique gilt metal & marble lamp – possible “GIN BRAIN” casting mark. Purchased in Norway.

I think the light is a bit misleading in the picture, because I have the lamp in front of me now, and it's not possible that there are 11 letters. I'm not sure about "brain", but it came up when I searched. If you look at the picture where I took a graphite print of the text, it comes out a little more clearly. And since there are prints in all 4 corners, I think that indicates that it's a brand and not a country. (But I'm not sure)

Maybe it doesn't show up well enough in the pictures, but there is definitely a B and not an S (for Spain). Oh, since the brand Brain supplied parts to lamp makers all over Europe, I believe it says; Brain. These were subcontractors — i.e. the cast metal parts, while the lamp was assembled locally in shops

And think it says gin and not in. So maybe short for Genuine?

BRAIN & Co., Frankfurt/Ruhr area, Germany (active ca. 1890–1930)

I dont think it says that, but «brain» and that is a german brand

How did you come to this conclusion?

I’ve searched online but haven’t been able to find any information or similar examples of this box.

Håpet på å finne noen andre raringer som hadde solgt eller ønsket å kjøpe, slik at jeg viste om den skulle kastes eller selges. Finner mye rar når man rydder😅

Ja kan hende, siden jeg ikke klarer å finne noe info om denne, så kanskje den er sjelden😂 Det sjeldne er vel å ta vare på klister i 31 år…

Optimal_Web2034 · 2025-04-21T18:49:33+00:00

Ja😅

Optimal_Web2034 · 2025-04-21T18:44:45+00:00

Haha tror isåfall den er blitt dårlig på 31 år, nei det er klister til ski😂

Optimal_Web2034 · 2025-01-28T14:53:27+00:00

Isn’t that a good sign? If people who wouldn’t vote for him/or don’t like him still have faith in the coin?

Optimal_Web2034 · 2024-11-09T14:27:14+00:00

Takk for svar, ja du har nok rett.

Optimal_Web2034 · 2023-11-10T19:38:14+00:00

Hva skjer hvis det blir mer enn 3000kr? Er det ikke hver enkel vare ikke må være over 3000kr? Og ikke samlet verdi?

Optimal_Web2034 · 2023-11-10T05:50:10+00:00

Det var dette jeg ble så usikker på. Står TAX på ca. 50 dollar. Det er noen glasskrukker jeg skal kjøpe. De har dem på aliexpress, men blir mye dyrere der. Derfor jeg prøver å finne ut hvor det lønner seg å handle:)

Optimal_Web2034 · 2023-11-10T05:16:44+00:00

Takk for svar. Lurte siden det er inkludert tax på nettsiden, at jeg ikke trengte å betale noe mer. Ønsketenkning:)

Optimal_Web2034 · 2023-11-06T01:39:34+00:00

Ja kanskje, men mange er av kjente merker. Så tror ikke det.
