Who Made this Chapman Brass Lamp? in the Secret Undeground Laboratory Recovery and Salvage

Having a name on a lamp is fairly rare and sometimes when there is a name, it's not much help.

Very nicely done. I never knew the difference with the wire connection. Appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Thank you very much. I give the same basic sermon on wiring a socket in every video because it's a safety issue. I don't know how common it was to be shocked by touching a light socket shell, but that's why the ridge wire has to go under the silver screw. This became standard in the 1970s.
I rewire a lot of fixtures originally made for European and Asian Markets and they have very different solutions to the problem. European sockets are all plastic and the metal hardware is deep inside the shell. I've seen other sockets that have a spring plunger inside the socket that forces the switch to the off position when the bulb is removed. The US design dealt with the problem in a way that didn't require a drastic reengineering of our hardware.

Same, Thanks, Where do you get the threaded socket. I only see the slip on at the local box stores.

@@wademackey1098 You can find them at Grand brass.com. I buy most of my inventory from them.
