This listing is for a gorgeous, large Fostoria Gone with the Wind parlor lamp that carries patent dates of 1893 and 1895 on its flame spreader. It's a BIGGgggggggggg lamp! As the title notes, the lamp stands 31inches to the top of its 14 inch chimney, and measures 12 inches in diameter. It's a massive piece in beautiful soft shades of butter yellow, pinks, blues, and greens. In terms of condition, it's excellent. As you'll note, it retains a wick and has never been electrified. The font is in fine condition, and everything is tight on the lamp (base, fittings, chimney prongs, shade ring). I mention this as today so many lamps on eBay are the product of mix and match with resulting wiggles, jiggles, and peculiarities :-). Although the dimensions of the lamp are hard to capture, I hope the photos will give you the information you need. It's a great piece and will be most carefully packed for shipping, or pick-up would sure be welcome in either Lemoyne or Annville, PA. Both are southcentral within a 2 hour radius of Philadelphia, Scranton, Baltimore, etc.. Lemoyne is just across the bridge from Harrisburg and Annville is a few minutes from Hershey. Anyway, it's a gorgeous lamp, so if I may answer any questions, please don't hesitate to e-mail. I'll be listing sort of a strange collection of items for awhile, as I'm preparing to read more
