comments
  Comparisons have been made between this lamp and other Fostoria marked lamps in the collection. Though unmarked, certain features of this lamp's base would seem to indicate that is was manufactured by Fostoria. When comparing with other lamps from the same era, these features seem to be unique only to Fostoria.
