Amazing restoration job, Kevin...
If it's possible to look better than the original, you've pulled it off (I really like the look of yours a bit more!) Tremendous job using all original components from the time period. It was well worth the extensive ebay searches and time you devoted. Perhaps a little luck involved as well... finding a base that was so close to the original (and remaining in such great shape!) I'm also impressed with how quickly you completed this. That was fast! I am wondering how you attached the statue to the base. Also, did you do all the work and piece it together yourself, or take it to a specialist? Either way... beautiful results, and many congrats! Below are the original versions....

mark, did it myself. attached with threaded rod and a little plaster of paris. worked great. the fittings were the same for the lamp stem and used a tap and dye to fit the threaded rod. thanks for your help.

I'm going to try and find a ring to fit mine and search for a globe that closely resembles the one illustrated in the catalog. This may take a while, but the end result should be worth it.

After 4 years of trying to find the right globe and reservoir for this lamp, I have settled on these. The reservoir was with the lamp when I got it. The globe was added by me. It is not quite like the original, but still nice.

I always thought those were really cool pieces. They look great with or without globe or base I think. Thanks for sharing guys.
