Description & Photos are ALL credited to Lane and Company The California manufacturer Lane and Co. was one of the most important makers of TV lamps, and are renowned for their great production volume and varied styles. They displayed a fierce creativity, which resulted in many extravagant and unusual designs. But oddly enough, little is known about the history of this manufacturer. Lane & Co. was originally located in Los Angeles, moving to 14660 Arminta St., Van Nuys in the early 50's. Most pieces indicate Van Nuys as their place of origin, but the panther TV lamp, dated 1953, is marked L.A. Calif. The oldest date I've seen on a Lane product is 1950, with some of the early pieces marked Nickerson . Undoubtedly a designer in the early years, the Nickerson marking does not appear on TV lamps. The company is believed to have folded in the late 60's. The vast majority of their production is marked Lane & Co., but some pieces were produced with the Sunkist Creations marking. It appears that they went back to the Lane & Co. name, only to become Lane Ceramics, a Division of Condecor in later years. Condecor was based in Mundelein, Illinois, and also sold picture frames under the name "Decorative Arts." The products of Lane & Co. are extremely popular with collectors for their beautifully airbrushed coloration and elegant designs, and read more
