The Brass Lamp

This Relic is a beautiful brass floor lamp that was in my kids Grandparents house for decades.

It had several adventures in storage including being thought to have been stolen!

During Grandpa Burts last move it was found in an apartment storage unit.

Becky's sister was going to take it but the damn thing is six feet tall, made of brass, weighs a ton, while at the same time being fragile. Crating it and shipping was cost prohibitive.

We rewired it and replaced the fringe. Sometime in the next ten years we will get it to Ruth because when we retire, it all has to go!

--Works great in my den for now.

  1. Carolyn recalls Granny Annie sometimes mentioning that she thought this lamp looked like it belonged in a brothel. Are you running a brothel? ;)
