Thanks David, Any digging you or anyone could do would be fantastic. The project is going well, it is stripped back, undercoated (the red paint) and now awaiting it's second coat of paint. I still haven't been able to find a similar lamp for it in better condition so guess i need to decide if i buy a new lamp and lose the authentic nature of the project or keep looking. I also need to find the ladder rests or get some thing made. see photo's before the final paint. thanks.primedthe remainder ...
