When it's the Runt of the Litter :tinysmile_eyebrow_t
I paid little attention to this, polished,plated,
hole through the base as a lamp (didn't damage the top though).
Then I noticed that it was shorter than a similar sad specimen -
Well, it may be a scarse one, it comes in at 9 1/4" which appears
to match the last one or two on the page of Mks of these.
There is visible a number 18 part of the date so it is
1918 manufacture. 1918 examples don't seem to show up ?
Thoughts anyone -
Now I'm trying to clean off the rest of the old plating,
I think 99% or more of the markings are lost.
