Lamp Identification PLEASE
John Smith:
Been thinking Ken.... If you were to contact the link above (see Ram Hood Ornament) they should be able to supply you with mounts for your pigeons. Not only will they look even more stunning, but the mounts also help to counter-balance them and so avoid them toppling over. A thought perhaps? J.
Ohio:
Thanks John...might try that. Frank provided a few examples on-line when I first got them & evidently MMODEL produced a wide variety of figures for various purposes. URLs below. Just wish there was more info on the manufacturer. I will have to say that your lamp is the best piece I've seen from MMODEL. Ken

John Smith:
Thanks to you all.. You have all been most observent, appreciative and helpful to me with this piece. The Antiques Roadshow.. ZZZZzzz have now approached me about the lamp. I 'spose I should await their findings... I did not think that it would cause such a sensation, as lovely as it is... as for me, I shall just be happy to establish more aobout its maker... "M. Model" John.
Frank:
Good luck to them in tracing Model, Hartmann source was Grover. Skeeley makes no mention... must be in French trade journal somewhere. On-line might be worth chasing again... my earlier efforts http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,36935.msg201428.html#msg201428
Frank:
Might be worth contacting local museum as they now include Model and give a c1930-1940 date. http://www.verdun.fr/Vie-quotidienne/Culture-Sport-Loisirs/Musee-de-la-Princerie/Nouvelles-acquisitions/Du-Verre-Art-Deco-au-Musee
