Hi Guys,

I picked up a crown globe the other day. It has a six inch bottom feature for mounting to a pump (I assume) but also has a 5 inch "mount like" feature at the top of the crown. Any idea when this was used and what would have mounted to the top?

Thanks,

Lee

Made by Standard Oil as a dealership item. They look kinda cool if you've got the complete swag lamp!

Swag lamp, very cool. Unfortunately, I do not have the rest of it. Anyone have a picture of what they looked like?

Thanks,

Hey Lee--Welcome to Old Gas! I don't have a picture in the files but I've seen them in person and every once in a while, one will turn up on ebay! You should be able to find a chain and top for it at a local antique store or even look around for a modern swag lamp that could be adapted. Try a google search using swag lamp. Good luck!

cool Hello Lee. Go to the Portal Page, Eds' Garage, 2nd picture down and you will see one of the Crowns used as a swag lamp. It was my understanding they also originally came with a wood base to mount and set on a desk at the dealership if preffered. Ed.

Any estate sale or flea market should hook you up with an old swag lamp for parts.

Thanks for all the help guys. I am thinking of running up to the Ohio Gas event for a day or two next week. Maybe I will get lucky and find one the bases that Ed described or an original swag chain. If not, on to the antique shops!

Hey! It might be a buyers market for you if no one else shows up to buy! Probably worth the trip!
