Thanks Frank for teying, I appreciate the effort. I've been afraid that the figures were simply imported in the U.S. in the late 20's to early 30's & assembled here which means it's impossible to tell who/whom manufactured them. Reliable, valid lamp manufacturers documentation is not one of our strong points over here in the U.S. The base is very similar to those bases found on some Cambridge figural lamp bases, the one & two bun Geishas & the seated Buddha & these were sold as lamp parts to various companies that were never documented & then again Cambridge may have purchased the bases from a supplier, thats always been up in the air as to which is which. U.S./Tiffin figural lamps are well documented as well as Frankart, NuArt & Aladdin, but thats about it for the mid 20's to mid 30's time frame. I think I'm still chasing my tail & will probably never be able to attribute them. Ken
