A seller on Ebay was selling original magazine ads that included the 1958-62 Mickey Mantle Harland Lamp. The thing is the design of that lamp is different from any example that I've seen before. I've attached a photo of the normal Hartland Mantle Lamp that I'm familiar with for reference.
The lamp in the ad has a round base and a smaller lampshade. I'm wondering if that was that something that Sports Pics put together themselves or do you think it as official from Hartland?

Hartland made the lamp both ways. You’d think the circular base version would be worth more, as it is rarer. But the rectangular base version is considered the more desirable and typically sells for more money.
Also… the rectangular base version was made with the lamp shade seen above, as well as a plain shade (same size, but without the felt bat/ball cut-outs. I personally prefer the plain shade, as it looks less “childish”.

Those are super cool, IMO. I’m glad I’m not a Mantle or Hartland collector….I’d have to have one!

Nice, Mike! Now the picture in the ad looks like a possible third variation of the base.

It appears in the ad that the figure is an actual Mantle Hartland glued to the base. Every lamp I have seen is the gold figure version. Does anyone have one with the regular figure?
