Stanford Pottery Team Lamps

[aelefson]

Thanks Rob and Mark! I too am hoping someone will post an original shade. In looking at my lamp, the only possible manufacturer name is on the metal part of the lamp. Mine says Leviton Made in the USA. Rob, does yours say the same thing on the metal part where the bulb attaches? I assume that is either the town where the metal part was made or the name of the metal part manufacturer.

I'll take a look later today and try to post a photo or two.

Sometimes when I look at this lamp, I wonder that if Stanford Pottery really did make these, why did they choose such a generic design? Could you imagine how cool it would have been if they'd taken the gold-tooth Indian figurine (or any figurine they made), enlarged it by 50 percent or so, and made it into a lamp?

That is such a cool idea that I bet Gibbs Conner is already on it, and comes out with them soon. Of course they will be circa 1950s (and perhaps dated 1954 for the Indians, 1955 for the Dodgers, 1956 for the Yankees, etc.)

These just have yet to show up... give it a few more weeks!

When they hit the market, I'll know just where to find them.

Leviton is a huge manufaturer of lamp and other electric parts

So no help there.

That may be an Inside joke, but it would certainly be in The Ball Park to value these Collectibles in the hundreds, if not thousands of dollars!

I have the Cubs version

I just picked up the Kansas City version myself recently. Mike I wonder if your Cubs lamp has the original shade on it...would love to find one for mine.
