I have inherited a lamp identical to this. The shade was ripped to shreds, so I removed all the (appeared to be silk) fabric, and covered in Mardi Gras beads (I'm from New Orleans). Needless to say, it's been a conversation piece ever since. However, there is a hole in the shade, where a finial might be? Seems no need for a finial since the shade just sits on the glass diffuser, just as yours does. What originally went in that hole? Should I now worry about finding a finial for it after all this time?
These shades are usually made to fit both the glass bowl or a harp type lamp. I haven’t seen one of these bowl type lamps to have a finial on the shade, but you could always add one if you wanted to. Although, you’d need something to screw it onto since there’s no harp.
You can find the bulbs at dedicated lamp stores. They also make adapters so you can use regular bulbs. They are pretty cheap. That's what I got for mine.
you can still buy the 100/200/300 watt 3 way bulbs. Ace hardware is a good place. Granted they are certainly not very common anymore like they were many years ago. Even the mogul 3 way sockets are still manufactured for restoration of a older floor lamp which uses this large bulb.
Tom Duke did you find a diagram or figure this out. I started doing the same re-wiring process. It has the same look as this one. I was able to disassemble the top end and removed the lower Levittown cat 573 switch. Need to figure out how to remove the old wires from that switch. I also plan on dissecting the existing wires carefully.
do a search using the phrase "mogul lamp wiring diagram". I just used this diagram to repair/rewire a mogul lamp I picked up for 3.00 at a resale shop and everything works perfectly thanks to the kind person who shared this info. ;-)
@@Laggin6 Just finished rewiring one, not too difficult. Guy on youtube has a diagram that is very helpful, I copied it on paper off my laptop. I bought ALL the possible parts I could need as I didn't know what parts were dead and I only wanted to do it once. Parts cost about $70. Could save $ if you wire it without the triple power big Mogul bulb that way you can use the new fangled bulbs. Mogul bulbs get HOT and use lotsa power. Did mine to be as it was when it was first bought and got an adapter for the mogul base so I can use an LED bulb.

Great information however a link to the website would be amazing.
That's was easy, cool & interesting I'll givit a try. Thank You 👏 Sheppard is huge & beautiful 🐾
Where do you find shades that have the dips in the cross wires that keep s the shade from sliding?
The shade she is showing would have the wires.
I have a old antique Lamp just like this but finding the large bulb is difficult.

I got an adapter for mine that takes a regular bulb. Google mogal bulb adapter
Amazon sells Mogul three-way LED bulbs :3

How do you wire one of these, I have an old one that needs rework and am unable to find any diagrams or component drawings.

Which make and model is this lamp? Thanks
My gosh! Look at that fireplace mantle.
Very good and a good value
I have a lamp almost exactly like this. No glass shade though
Opal glass reflector shade. Some call it milk glass.
