Lamps and Lightbulbs
Vintage lamps may now have to be altered to accommodate the new types of light bulbs. But this has a happened before. In 1860 kerosene was the fuel used for light. Electricity, introduced in 1879, made the cost of lighting much lower and old lamps were adapted or discarded. For more information on lighting, lamps, and their prices, go to Kovels.com.

I have 2 hand cut and polished crystal boudoir lamps with hanging crystal prisms and grapevine etched chimneys. The silver labels on them say ALBUS CRYSTAL. They have white cords with switches on the cords. I would like to know where Albus was based, and how old they are. I can’t find any information about them on the internet. Thank You.
