- A comparable lamp with the identical base and with Thomas Cains typical "air-trap" font was sold at Jeffrey Evans, 10/23/2010, lot 78. My understanding is that lamp was "Published: Kaiser - South Boston, p. 47, fig. 19." And "Parallels Wilson - New England, p. 228, fig. 190, and Spillman - Corning, p. 212, fig. 821.".
