THIS IS READY TO USE WITH YOUR PERIOD SHADE. REPLACING THE CORD WITH A NEW CLOTH CORD WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA. I HAVE TESTED THE SOCKET AND CORD WITH A LIGHT BULB AND BOTH WORK FLAWLESSLY. THIS APPEARS TO BE BRONZE AND DOES NOT STICK TO A MAGNET. IT IS VERY WELL CAST, SOLID AND HEAVY. I WOULD KEEP THIS MYSELF BUT I DON’T HAVE A SHADE THAT WOULD DO IT JUSTICE. THIS WILL BE VERY CAREFULLY PACKED DUE TO ITS WEIGHT. THIS BASE IS UNSIGNED BUT NO DOUBT MADE BY ONE OF THE BETTER MAKERS LIKE BRADLEY AND HUBBARD OR HANDEL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST.
