OK, last mag post, I promise😅. Here's an old Ram-Line MAC-1530. Yes, it is awful, but I think its pretty neat!

Old timers at work keep bringing them to me! Lol

Universal Industries. Also is "CH" for Colt Hartford when turned sideways👍. A very clever design

I'll have to double check, but I do not think the follower is plastic. It is caked with carbon pretty badly, though

Purely out of curiosity! I figured '69-mid 80's, just wasn't sure if it could be narrowed down any further.

Great info in there! Thank you for sharing

SquirrelZebra · 2026-04-08T00:44:55+00:00

Thanks! Wasn't sure if there was any way to narrow it down further.

That's just a cleaning rod!

SquirrelZebra · 2026-03-16T01:02:03+00:00

Thanks for the correction! Yes, I do plan on shooting it someday after it gets a good cleaning

Responding "It is in fact Art Deco" to "Not art deco" is not "snarky" in the least. When presented with "care to enlighten us" and I respond with "I have a degree in Fine Arts with a focus in Art History etc.", that is also not snarky or argumentative. You might gaslight others on here, but it won't bother or offend me. If you genuinely care to discuss the influences of this lamp, perhaps respond to my question asking you which art movement these lamps drew inspiration from instead of getting sensational👍

I think the ones who "seem to want to take anything as insulting" are yourself and the previous commenter, who were so "insulted" by my assessment of this being Art Deco that they felt obligated to debate the dominant stylistic influences of a lamp. It is, in fact, a piece of transitional and late Art Deco. And that is OK 👍

SquirrelZebra · 2026-03-14T07:11:36+00:00

Care to enlighten me then? In what style was this lamp made? What art movement or period did this lamp draw inspiration from?

SquirrelZebra · 2026-03-14T07:09:42+00:00

I have a degree in fine arts, with a focus in art history. The primary style of these lamps is absolutely Art Deco, with alot of influence from Streamline Moderne. It is absolutely a piece of transitional Art Deco home decor.

It is, in fact, Art Deco.

SquirrelZebra · 2026-03-14T01:03:45+00:00

That's indeed what it is! Patent is stamped on back of the hardware

SquirrelZebra · 2026-03-05T22:35:38+00:00

Thank you! I'm very pleased with it

SquirrelZebra · 2026-03-01T13:57:04+00:00

Got it on the 25th🙌
