[@LostMountainRestoration]

Thank you!

Interesting looking lamps. They looked 1000% better after you refinished them. Great job as always, Larry!

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Thanks, Sharon. They came out of a house where we bought a bunch of furniture from the very early 1950's. I believe these were probably bought with the furniture. The shades, we believe, are original and in pretty good shape for their age. Someone will love these. Thanks again and best regards.

@@LostMountainRestoration Hoping for new videos...

[@DashnerDesignRestoration]

Nice job! Those shades look in pretty good shape. I find lots of old lamps but rarely find usable shades.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Thanks. Yes, it was a bit of a surprise to find them with the shades. We always buy MCM shades when we find them absent the lamps. Best regards!

[@marcnshawny]

Gorgeous lamps and thanks for the walk through. When we bought our house they left some wood and etched glass (huge) end table lamps and we just love them. They were in near perfect condition 10 years ago and we've been caring for them so I don't have to ever take them apart and refinish them....lol......I'm sure it would not go as well as what you've done here. Great vid as always, thanks!

[@eladbagan7932]

A very interesting and different restore. Great work.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Thank you. It was something a little different and I thought many people would like to see a lamp disassembled and then put back together. Best regards.

[@reggiereseller8252]

Always enjoy your videos, thanks for posting.

[@franternes2590]

Have you had to try the non methylene chloride strippers yet? The old ones are being pulled off the market. I hear the new ones are slower.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

I have not. I'm hoping I can continue to get the MC stripper through my commercial supplier. We'll see what happens.

[@arlenelamont5610]

You did a great job refinishing the lamps. Thanks for the wiring lesson.

[@doncampbell853]

Nice

[@scrapperdscrapperj3948]

Beautiful lamps Larry 👍 great job

[@robertbegley6858]

The lamps came out really nice.

[@juliejulie7622]

Beautiful! Will you keep them?

[@LostMountainRestoration]

I believe my wife will put them up for sale shortly.

[@emilylindstrom724]

You're spoiling us with videos lately!

[@QueenCityHistory]

Mid century isn't my style, but they are a piece of our history and of course deserve to be preserved! Once they're gone...they're gone

[@52memor]

Thanks Larry great vid

[@hollyalida6070]

Great job Larry-the lamps are beautiful! Are the shades original?

[@LostMountainRestoration]

Yes, we believe so.

[@debrachalfin6968]

Thanks Larry! I love to refinish lamps. Did you replace the felt on the bottom of the base? I also thought I saw felt in between the base and the tube..... If there was did you replace that also? Thank you for sharing with us your tips on how to fix and refinish wonderful pieces of furniture.

[@LostMountainRestoration]

I haven't put new felt on them yet. I took the old, worn, felt off during the stripping process. Great eye!

[@davecharlesworth8176]

👍

[@Staggsrmac]

Great job! Would you be willing to give a bit of advise on occasion? If so how would be the best way to make contact in order to communicate? I understand if you would rather not be bugged tho.... Thanks!

[@neilmeddaugh8688]

Why don’t you tape off the brass, and finish them the original color? I’m a lamp collector and wouldn’t touch those as they now look.

Handsome!
