comments
  This mushroom-shaped Shelby lamp has a couple of interesting features. First, the lamp is made from beautiful dark yellow glass. Typically these lamps are found with clear envelopes but they do occasionally surface in colored glass. The second unusual feature is the tipless design. Prior to obtaining this lamp, I had assumed all Shelby lamps with this type of envelope had exhaust tips.
