I have a fair few US lighting cat too but mostly post WW2. On the plus side you do have some amazing lampbases and you know where the glass was made. What about markings on the metal parts - which (might) indicate where they were assembled.

Frank the cast metal bases are unmarked. You're right though...at least I know where the figurines were made, but I'm now inclined to think they were assembled ...well who knows where? Could have been Europe or the U.S. Like I said the Cambridge Buddha lamps have been found with the same base so odds are it's here in the U.S. Hey thanks for all the help & suggestion though, I appreciated your input & thoughts.
