Spotted one today with a large paper label on the base with U.K. tel.no's. but no company name or details of maker/origin.  Its described as "Hurricane", which presumably refers to its design being like a hurricane lamp.  I'm guessing its fairly modern.  I've seen a few on my travels, but todays was the first with a retail label.

Nice looking pieces and a bargain!   Really heavy aren't they :o  Shouldn't get blown over by any South Westerlies ;)
