I was the lucky winner of this really nice bakelite phone lamp. It is NOS and I was really shocked that it went so low. I love the "go withs" in Telephone collecting. Brown Bakelite base and an Ivory Bakelite shade. With the 302 on the front and the 354 on the back, I am guessing late 40s early 50s. There is not date on the package. It is made by General Electric. Very cool.....Doug

Where was it manufactured?  My great-grandfather and grandfather worked for GE/Monowatt in Providence.

Sarge...General Electric Providence 7, R.I. is what is listed on the cardboard on the bottom, see pic 5. Maybe your great-grandfather was involved in this production!....Doug

Oh yeah I see it now.  He passed away in 1918, so its a little after his time, but very cool!

If it's got a postal zone in the address, that narrows it down to to a twenty year period between 1943 and 1963.

Very nice!  I think the accessories, or "go-withs" really make a display of anything, not just phones, look better.

I collect meteorites and frequently look for anything related, even remotely related - even if it just says "meteorites" on it.  It adds to the fun and the interest that the display generates.
