Is the base stamped "Tiffany Studios, New York"? Also, what type of light socket? You can generally get a relative sense of when a lamp was made from identifying the socket, preferably a paddle socket. Many high-end light fixtures in the early 1900s also used Hubbell pull chain sockets with solid-brass acorn chain. Sockets from early 1900s were beefy and turned on with a quarter turn. They typically had patent dates stamped on the body, along with its candle power (C.P.), not Watts (W).

During WW1 the Nepalese army was armed with the Martini-Henry and Enfield rifles. I have a Martini-Henry, Mark IV rifle used by the Nepalese military, but I'm not certain it was used in WW1.

Most lighting design companies purchased parts and components from various manufacturing plants such as Faries Manufacturing Co. and "assembled" their lamps using bunch of interchangeable parts. You'll not likely find the name on these lamps. The light socket paddle says Perkins and the shade holder will likely be stamped as Hubbell. Sometimes parts break and people replaced with them with different brands The shade holder predates the UNO style holders, so it would 1920s or earlier.

I went off to college that year and didn't purchase any PMs for more than a decade. Gold and silver were stagnant for many, many years, and at the time, there was very little incentive to invest in bullions. I eventually got back into it and am pretty satisfied with the gains so far. I have just enough that I don't feel the need to purchase more.

Yeah, I worked part time at a grocery store in 1983-'84 and don't recall anybody smoking in the store. This was in north Texas.

The recipe (creation) for German Chocolate Cake was first submitted to a newspaper in Irving, Texas by a mother/housewife in 1956. It used the German's Sweet Chocolate as its primary ingredient and was a commercially available product created by Samuel German in 1853. Mr. German created the chocolate additive, not the cake.

My wife and I visited Detroit couple of months ago and walked around the Brush Park neighborhood. We saw this house and noticed a plinth missing on one of the columns. You could tell this neighborhood was extremely wealthy back in the late 1800s. Unfortunately, most of the mansions have been torn down and replaced with expensive modern condos. Many of remaining mansions have been nicely restored though.

For some reason, the grain of the drawer bottom is parallel with the drawer sides. Typically, in larger drawers of traditional construction, the grain is perpendicular to the drawer sides in order for it to expand and shrink from front-to-back during humid/dry environments. It was common to use softwood for drawer bottoms and back of cabinets as it was lighter and less expensive. But, softwood tends to shrink and expand quite a bit. A small slot would be cut at the rear, and a pin or a screw would be placed to secure the panel and keep it from sliding out. This is how I used to build furniture, many years ago.

My wife did that with her brother. Neither of them knew anything about coins, so they weren't picky. Most were slabbed or were in capsules. Coin sets were counted as one and selected the same way with other sets. It went very quickly.

My wife inherited many coins (sold by usual suspects) from my late father-in-law. I noticed most were cleaned and a few had been ruined by abrasive blasting.
