    Description

    Imperial Candlewick Hurricane Lamps Pair Bird Cranberry Gold Flashing.
    The flashing on these is so neat because it looks cranberry only until the light hits it a certain way and then it looks gold.
    There are gold highlights as well.  I suspect it takes on a different effect with a lit candle in it but I will leave that for the new owner to discover.
    The flashing is not heavy (thick) but it does not appear to have any wear or fading, it looks just like the one in the Decorated Candlewick book
    by the Garrisons (photo's included here).
    The difference between these and the one in the book is these do NOT have a lip on the candle cup which predates 1949.
    There is a chip on the bottom of one shade as shown in the photos.
    On the top rim of a chimney is what looks like a wrinkle or a chip but it is smooth to the touch.
    This rim was fire polished at the factory so I assume there was a chip before the fire polishing was done.
    See the close up photos.
