>Subject: Moire' Lamps (?)
>To: [log in to unmask]
>
>Greetings!
>I'm seeking information on American antique lamps from the 20'-30's(?).
> I've been unable to determine the correct name for these lamps.
>Description: 12-16 in. ht. Approx. 6-8 in. diameter (cylindrical).
>
>These are motion lamps - I believe operated by the heat generated by
the
>bulb.
>The moving cylinder inside the lamp contains a graphic - usually
Currier &
>Ives style. As the cylinder rotates, the moire' pattern gives the
illusion
>of motion within the graphic. For example: waterfall - forest fire -
or old
>time locomotive.
>Can anyone tell me the formal name for these lamps, or where to find
>information about them?
>Thanks to all,
>
