Shannon Lamp Service, Inc., Lexington, KY

We carry a complete line of lamp parts including specialty lamp sockets and fittings. However, with the numerous parts available we sometimes need to special order certain items.

We stock a nice selection of quality brass lamp finials. These finials sell for $10.00 each.
Call for availability.

This picture shows the horse-head finials, available in Nickel finish, Polished Brass, and Antique Brass Finish.
The horse finials sell for $10.00 each.

We offer a 3/8F to 1/4-27M reducer. This allows the finial to fit. See pictures below to see example of usage.

We carry 8' lengths of standard SPT-1 Lamp Cord with a polarized plug in the following color choices:
White, Brown, Black, Clear Silver, & Clear Gold. $7.50 each.

All of these sockets are brass plated aluminum - available with or without a set screw on the socket heal.
Keyless, Push through, Single Turn, 3-Way turn are all $5.50 each.
Pull-chain single - $6.50 each.

(shown left to right)
1 - Single turn (or 3-way) turn sockets with 1/8F hickey - $6.50 each
2 - Porcelain keyless socket with 1/8F hickey - $5.95 each
3 (& below) - 3-terminal socket with 1/8F hickey - $8.00 each

Below - bakelite pigtail candelabra socket with 18" lead wires (not Leviton) $5.50 each

The 3-terminal sockets and the pigtail candelabra sockets are used together in lamps that have a regular lamp socket in the top of the lamp and a night light bulb that clips in the bottom of the lamp. The 3-terminal socket is also commonly called a "3-way, top & bottom".

Plain design with slot for turn knob electric socket key to extend - $16.50 each
Embossed design without a slot, designed for keyless sockets - $24.00 each

Standard Base Light Bulb Riser / Extender
Extends the length of a light bulb approximately 1"

We don't carry a full line of light bulbs, but we do stock the Mogul Base Light Bulb:
100-200-300 watt 3-way bulb with Mogul Base.

You can reduce the bulb size requirement for a lamp with a mogul base socket to accommodate a standard base light bulb with a "Mogul to Standard Light Bulb Reducer". Note: using this reducer eliminates the 3-way capability of the socket. See pictures below:

We stock several choices on "Uno" sockets. Each of these choices are solid brass. We do not recommend using a Uno socket that is not solid brass due to the strength of the metal. The brass plated aluminum sockets are more suspect to come apart while the lamp is in use. We offer the traditional Leviton shelled socket that snaps together in both the push-thru and turn-knob styles for $8.50 each. (pictures below)

And, we now stock a brass shelled Uno socket that is made by "Sun-Lite". We do replace the original socket interior with a much better Leviton socket interior. This socket does not snap together (or apart) like the traditional socket, but it is made with a threaded ring that secures the socket together, but still allows easy access to the socket interior for repairs or other purposes. This socket sells for $19.75 each. (pictures below)

We also stock the brass plated, bridge arm swivel bracket socket cap adapter. This is designed to screw into any 1/8F socket cap. This adapter is complete with a butterfly wing nut. $4.25 each. (pictures below)

We also stock a solid brass Uno shade holder to fit a 2-1/4" shade. $7.50 each. (pictures below)

Solid Brass "Leviton" Brand Uno Socket with Push-thru or with a turn-knob socket interior - $8.50 each

High Quality Uno Sockets with a threaded ring to allow access to electrical socket interior. Each include a "Leviton" turn-knob socket interior (Single Turn or 3-way) and a matching turn knob. This socket shell is designed to stop the problem of the socket shell coming unsnapped when the socket is is use. This can be a problem with many of the traditional snap-together sockets.

Solid Brass (High Polish) - $19.75 each
Nickel Plated (High Polish) - $19.75 each
Antique Brass Finish - $22.75 each

Bill Courter has written a wonderful reference book, "center-draft Kerosene Lamps 1884-1940".
It contains almost 450 pages of information on center draft oil lamps. Information about not only well-known manufacturers like Bradley & Hubbard, Miller, Rayo and others, but great information and pictures about very obscure lamp manufacturers as well. It is a well printed reference book that we use quite often.

Bill Courter has contacted me to let me know that this book is no longer being printed and he has almost no inventory still available. When the publisher has sold their current printing, they will not be available. I have a few available for $39.95 each. Get your reference book while it is still available!!

We stock a selection of Oil Lamps, Lamp Oil, Oil Burners, & Oil Lamp Wicks. These items come in handy when the power goes off!! Be Prepared!!

We stock a full line of lamp parts for oil lamps and oil lamps that have been electrified.

Thanks to our repair service, we carry a complete inventory of lamp parts such as the lamp harps and the prisms & Aladdin Parts as pictured in the display cases below.
