This post is mostly for Mom. We talked about rewiring this cool old lamp that I got from my Grandparents in Akron. The socket is not your standard light bulb size, but one size bigger. I don't know if I have ever seen them in the store. When this burns out I think I would be screwed. The last picture shows the bulb in the lamp now next to a regular light bulb for comparison. The plastic globe is also cracked and is just barely balancing in place. There is a lamp shade that sits on top of the globe but is not pictured here. The lamp is all solid metal and ways a ton.

See how the globe just sort of balances on the socket base?
