Topic: Hi hoping someone can help with id for glass possibly WMF Ikora lamp base please

[chriss]

That would be great I think he is to do with 20th century glass, I was hoping to email him (found an email address) to ask him in advance of the glass fair to give him a bit of notice as he may be able to bring anything he had to sell that may fit the job hopefully and if he is able to help me (and if he is attending the glass fair) or he may know someone else who can help Thanks

Fabulous colours, will look great lit up, i would also agree with the Ikora ....... (can't think of the correct word !!!! )
Will try to post a pic of my lamp fitting tomorrow, then you know the sort of thing you are after 

[Ivo]

fitting length 104
bracket 144
total 221 ex nut
nut 32

The original switch was a hefty bakelite one with a rotating dial: off/ 1 on/ 2 on/ 1+2 on

wattage n/a ; lower bulb is 85 mm 25W small fitting; top bulb is large fitting probably 40 W, total space available 55 mm.

The hinged bracket (I never thought I would use that word) is needed to get access to the bulb.

Good luck!

Thanks for posting that Ivo,  how does it stay put in the neck of the "vase" though 

[Ivo]

It screws in. There is an outside thread on the lower fitting.

Hi, Thanks for the replies everyone, and for posting the info and photos Ivo, if you ever want to sell your switch fitment, then please let me know!  If not, can you let me know if you hear of any for sale please, plus, what is the proper name of what it is please Thanks Chris

Pretty effective when lit up, I'd say ... definitely worth trying to sort it out.

Hi Chriss!

I could e-mail you some pics of different WMF Ikora lamps / lamp bases with different fittings if you want to.
I have a collection of pics but can't post them here (copyright reasons).

Regards
Micha

Hi Michajoli, maybe you could private message it please as I don't think I can post my email address here? Do you have any fitments that are for sale please? Many thanks Chriss
